By means of a telephone conference, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee has
today taken a decision to sanction the Cape Verdean Football
Association (FCF) for fielding an ineligible player in the preliminary
competition match for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ between Tunisia
and the Cape Verde Islands on 7 September 2013.
The match has been declared to be forfeited and awarded 3-0 in favour
of Tunisia, meaning that the Cape Verde Islands will not progress to
round three of the FIFA World Cup™ African zone qualifiers having
dropped to second place in Group B with nine points while Tunisia finish
first with 14 points and will now advance.
The FCF has also
received a fine of CHF 6,000 after the FIFA Disciplinary Committee
considered the FCF liable for having breached art. 55 par. 1 of the FIFA
Disciplinary Code and art. 8 of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil
Regulations.
The sanction relates to the Cape Verde player
Fernando Varela failing to serve the full four-match suspension imposed
on him after receiving a red card for unsporting conduct towards a match
official during a FIFA World Cup™ qualifier on 24 March 2013.
The draw for round three of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers in the
African zone will be conducted next Monday, 16 September. The five
best-placed sides in the FIFA World Ranking, which has been released today following the outcome of this disciplinary case, will be seeded in
the draw
