The west African nation has said it would
return to the qualifiers and hopes that Caf
would accept its plea in order to avoid paying
a $20,000 fine


In a twist of fate that could yet bring succour
to Nigeria and Tanzania, the Chadian Football
Federation has rescinded its decision to
withdraw from the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations
qualifiers if Caf would accept it back.
The Chadians announced this news via their
official website on Thursday evening, four
days after they threw Group G into disarray
with their decision to drop out of qualifying
due to financial constraints.

Looking at the financial implications of
withdrawing which has attracted a $20,000
fine from Caf, the Chad federation said it
thought it wise to remain in the competition
rather than spend the money on a fine.
“We will return to qualifying and we regret any
logistics problems that this might have
caused Caf, our fellow group opponents and
our fans,” a statement from the general
secretary of the Chadian Football Federation,
Amadou Keita Chaibou, read.
“It is our hope that this return will help us
avoid more sanctions seeing that our poor
country cannot afford to pay $20,000 when
we claim not to have money for flights and
accommodation.
“We also hope that it would not affect our
plans to qualify for the World Cup in 2018 so
we have returned like prodigal sons wishing
that Caf will accept our plea.”
However, the decision on whether to accept
Chad back to the competition would be made
by the Caf Competitions Board in the next few
hours.
It is good news for Nigeria and Tanzania who
had given up on qualifying for Gabon 2017 due
to the soar away success of the resurgent
Egyptians.

Now, any one of the two sides could still
garner enough points to finish in second place
and with points high enough to see them
through to Afcon 2017 as one of two best
second-placed sides.
Happy April 1st!
