32 Players From Cameroon U-17 Football Team Fail MRI Age Test | Sahara Reporters

This week's disqualification of 21 members of their Under-17 squad for failing tests was a setback for Eto'o's efforts to solve the issue in the Central African nation.

Samuel Eto'o, the president of Cameroon's national football team, was shocked to learn that 32 members of the under-17 squad had failed age tests before this month's games. They added: “Fecafoot urges all stakeholders, especially educators, to ensure that age per category is respected.” In the meantime, the Cameroon football federation highlighted their efforts to address the issue by calling 44 players from eight different clubs to a hearing over the summer regarding alleged age or identity fraud.

They said: “The Football Federation of Cameroon informs the public that as part of the preparations for the UNIFFAC Limbe 2023 tournament, which qualifies for the next Africa U17 Nations Championship, 21 out of 30 players currently in training failed the MRI tests.“They were immediately removed from the group. Steps were taken immediately to replace them,” the added.

In addition, their squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations is said to be under scrutiny because no official roster has been made public prior to their opening match against Congo on January 16.Another case of age fraud that received more attention involved Tobie Mimboe, a former Cameroon international who produced birth certificates that appeared to indicate he was getting younger over time.
