Tanzania's national team could be defeated in the last match after beating Guinea 1-0, which would make them miss the ticket to the biggest competition on the African continent that will be held in Morocco next year. 

After the defeat by Tanzania, the Guinean Football Federation immediately wrote to the Confederation of African Football, CAF, accusing Tanzania of being suspended due to irregularities in the match. 

These mistakes are based on the player Muhamed Ibrahim, where on the game sheet he was wearing number 24 while he entered the field wearing number 26.

 Articles 46 and 50 of the rules governing the African Cup of Nations qualifiers state that if a team commits a mistake in the registration of players, it will be punished by disqualification from the competition and suspension for the game in which the mistake was made. When the Commissioner of the match checked the list of players before the start of the match, Muhamed Ibrahim was only wearing number 24 and entered the field wearing number 26 and on the match sheet there was no player wearing this number. 


Muhamad Ibrahim Ame came on in the 76th minute to replace Mr. Ally Samantha, Tanzania had already won 1-0 at that time, as the FC Mashujaa player is already assisting in the attack.

 CAF's decision will be announced before the release of the final list of countries that will play in CAN 2025.
