Africa: CAF Introduces Gender Testing for AWC

6 January 2009


The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is set to introduce gender testing before the next African Women Championship in 2010. Equatorial Guinea hosted and won the last edition, but their victory was tainted by protests from Cameroon and Nigeria that two of the players used were men.CAF declined to act on the protests but Kick-Off gathered from the tournament's Technical Study Group, that the continental body had decided to act before the next tournament, which will also be the qualifiers for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.
