Afghanistan U 16 Disqualified from 2012 AFC -U 16 Championship

Afghanistan U -16 Football team disqualified from  2012 AFC U-16 Championship for fielding an ineligible player in the 2012 AFC U-16 Championship Group B qualifiers last month.

Afghanistan, who made it to the tournament proper as the third best team from West Zone, fielded Zaiuddin Amruddin who failed the MRI test for age determination.

The committee imposed a 3-0 forfeit of their matches against Kuwait, UAE and Yemen and a US$1000 each fine on all their five group games for violating Article 25 par. C) iii) of the AFC U-16 Championship 2012 qualifiers regulations and Article 55 par. 1 and 3 of the AFC Disciplinary Code.

Afghanistan will now be replaced by Saudi Arabia in the 16-nation AFC U-16 Championship as the third best team from West Zone.
