A member of Cameroon’s African Cup of Nations squad is among 52 players who face being excluded from the playoffs for the country’s premier national championship due to irregularities in their registration.

Wilfried Nathan Douala and 51 other players considered by the Cameroonian Football Federation to have a “double identity” lied about their age and were suspended, French channel RMC and Cameroonian media recently reported.

Only one club – Yong Sports Academy – has had 13 players highlighted for suspension or dual identity.

Douala, who plays for Victoria United FC, is 17 years old according to his registration. -africanews.com
