Sierra Leone disqualified from 2019 AFCON
Sierra Leone have been disqualified from the 2019 African Cup of Nations qualifying competition , the Confederation of African Football said on Monday .Football ’ s world governing body FIFA had suspended the Sierra Leone Football Association in October due to “ government interference ” .
CAF ’ s decision means Kenya and Ghana are assured of first and second place in Sierra Leone ’ s Group F and have therefore booked their place in next year ’ s finals .
“ Sierra Leone is disqualified from the qualifiers and all its matches are annulled, ” CAF said in a statement.
The row stems from the decision of Sierra Leone ’ s anti – corruption commission to sack SLFA president Isha Johansen and general secretary Christopher Kamara during an ongoing probe into corruption and mismanagement .
In October , CAF cancelled two matches pitting Sierra Leone against Ghana due to the dispute between Freetown and FIFA .
The 2019 finals have been plunged into uncertainty after CAF last week stripped Cameroon of the right to host the tournament , citing delays caused by infrastructure work .
The organisation has yet to determine the new host country but said it would reach a decision by the end of the year .
