FIFA says Equatorial Guinea must forfeit two World Cup qualifying games for fielding star player Emilio Nsue when he was ineligible, FIFA said Friday. It is the second time FIFA hands down such a ruling against Equatorial Guinea over Nsue’s eligibility, 11 years after the first.

For the second time in two World Cups, FIFA ordered Equatorial Guinea to lose two qualifying games by default on Friday May 24, 2024 for fielding star player Emilio Nsue when he was ineligible.
The ruling writes another chapter in an increasingly bizarre international career for the 34-year-old Nsue, who was born in Spain.Real Madrid wraps up Spanish league season against Betis before focusing on Champions League finalIn 2013, FIFA did not specify why Nsue, then playing in Spain for Mallorca, was ineligible to play for Equatorial Guinea in qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
