ConIFA annuls Kurdistan victory, Tamil Eelam through to quarterfinal

Kurdistan’s 9:0 victory against Tamil Eelam has been annulled and the match awarded as a 3:0 win to Tamil Eelam, after Kurdistan included too many players in their squad, the Tamil Guardian has learned.

The Kurdish team had 26 players in their squad, although only 21 are allowed to be included by the governing body, said sources close to TEFA.

This means that Tamil Eelam finishes second in Group A and will play Ellan Vannin (Isle of Man) in the quarterfinal on Wednesday at 19:00 CET.

All matches can be watched live here.
