Jackson Mayanja while speaking at the post match conference lamented the fact that his team won’t be at the World Cup following their failure to make it to the semi final of the tournament, but said they lost to a Nigerian team who are older than his team.
He said the Nigerian players are above the age grade saying CAF should do something about it in order to protect the integrity of the tournament, which is meant for the development of young players.
“Thank you very much. Of course the dream has come to an end like football is but i think I am so happy for my boys, they had a fantastic game. They played against their senior, senior players”, he said.
”These are young boys who are adolescent but I don’t know but for here I want to say CAF must do something if the football for this age group must go ahead to have the right players for this age group. CAF must do something”, he rounded up saying.
It is the second time such an allegation has been labeled on the Nigerian team with the goalkeeper coach of Egypt Ehab Galal alleging the same thing after his team crashed out of the tournament at the group state despite being the host.
