Hei FIFA, what was the offense? Why was he not eligible to play? Was it drugs related, was he under suspension, was he under age or over age? Please let us know the reason he wasn't allowed to play.
APPARENTLY HE WAS INELIGIBLE TO PLAY DUE TO HAVING 2 YELLOW CARDS PRIOR, MEANING AUTOMATIC SUSPENSION FOR THE SAID GAME.

What about if this stupid mistake was committed by Kurt Okraku's GFA
EOCO will arrest him them for causing financial loss to the nation.
The coach made a mistake of fielding him, FIFA is right
The coach and the FA must be queried; how come they didn't know the player was ineligible to play that particular match?
Did someone take a bribe from somewhere to dent the SA qualifications effort?
