Thanks for sharing! This is a big development for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Equatorial Guinea’s disqualification over the ineligible player issue is a major win for Mauritania, who now advance instead.
Patrice Neveu’s confidence and satisfaction highlight how seriously Mauritania’s federation took the complaint and the evidence. Now the Mourabitounes face Uganda in the decisive round with the first leg set for July 18 and the return on August 3.
Neveu’s trip to France to negotiate player releases shows the challenge ahead—since those dates aren’t official FIFA windows, getting clubs to release players can be tricky. Still, Mauritania has momentum now, and this could be a historic chance for them to reach the CAN finals.
Are you following Mauritania’s progress closely? It’s exciting to see underdog teams getting opportunities like this!
