Equatorial Guinea have been disqualified from the qualifiers for the 2012 London Olympic games for fielding an unqualified player.
Thus, Cameroon will play Nigeria for the sole women’s slot in place of the former African champions.
In a letter signed by Gordon Savic, head of FIFA World Cup & Olympic Qualifiers Competitions, and addressed to the Nigeria Football Federation, FIFA stated, inter alia: “…As you will note, Cameroon has been confirmed to take part in this final stage of the qualifiers, after the FIFA Judicial Bodies have declared the 2 matches lost by forfeit by Equatorial Guinea in the 2nd round, due to player’s ineligibility in infringement of the Regulations”.
Cameroon lost over two legs to World Cup campaigners Equatorial Guinea in the last round, but now have a reprieve and will visit Nigeria for the first leg of the final qualifying fixture on the weekend of August 26-28.
Cameroon’s will then host the Super Falcons in the return leg on the weekend of September 9-11.
