“The player in question was allegedly of Cameroonian nationality and had played for several European based clubs.

“By a letter dated 30 August 2018, the Cameroonian federation confirmed the above by stating that the player in question is indeed of Cameroonian nationality and that they have denied receiving a request from Equatorial Guinea in order for Mrs. Anette Jacky Messomo to change her national association.

“In accordance with CAF regulations, all parties were requested to present their responses in regards to the allegations made against Equatorial Guinea’s Women team.

“The Federacion Ecuatoquineana De Futbol claimed that the player in question had benefited from her grandfather’s nationality and that she has been living in Equatorial Guinea since childhood.
