FIFA can confirm that the Togolese Football
Federation (TFF) has been sanctioned for fielding an ineligible player
in the preliminary competition match for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™
between Togo and Cameroon played on 9 June 2013.
The match is declared to be forfeited and awarded 3-0 in favour of Cameroon,
with the TFF also receiving a fine of CHF 6,000 after the FIFA
Disciplinary Committee considered the TFF liable for having breached
art. 55 par. 1 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code and art. 8 of the 2014 FIFA
World Cup Brazil™ Regulations.
The sanction relates to the Togolese player Jacques Alaixys Romao
failing to serve the automatic one-match suspension imposed on him
following two cautions received in two different matches (art. 17 par. 3
of the FIFA Disciplinary Code).
