Chad have pulled out of the 2017 Africa
Cup of Nations qualifiers due to financial
restraints.
Les Sao bowed to Tanzania on
Wednesday and were billed to face the
Taifa Stars for the return leg in Dar es
Salaam.

“As part of our participation in the
African Cup of Nations qualifiers for
Gabon 2017 and particularly the return
match against Tanzania, we bring to your attention that our national team has failed to make it to the return leg game
in Dar el Salaam scheduled for March 28,” said Moctar Mahamoud, secretary general of Chad Football Association.

“Indeed, our country has been affected
by the global economic conditions and
because of this, our participation in various competitions has taken a serious blow due to financial constraints.”

“We wish you all the best and we
apologise for this situation which is basically independent of our will.”
Chad sit at the base of Group G with no point from three defeats to Egypt, Nigeria and Tanzania, and according to Caf rules and regulations, their results
will be nullified.

Accordingly, following the decision of Caf Executive Committee dated 15 January
2015, any group reduced to three teams following the withdrawal of a team will have only the group winner qualifying for the final tournament. Furthermore, the Chadian Football Federation has been fined 20,000 US Dollars and also barred from participating in the next edition of the AFCON in conformity with Article 59 of
the regulations of the Competition which
states “any association declaring forfeit
after the start of the matches is liable to a
fine of twenty thousand (20,000) U.S.
dollars. It will also not be allowed to
participate in the next edition of the
Afcon”. With this, Egypt now have four points,
Nigeria in second with two point while
Tanzania have one point
