FIFA has banned Cape Verde from the final round of qualification for
the 2014 World Cup and replaced them with Tunisia, because they used an
ineligible player.
Fernando Varela was picked for the game against Tunisia on September
7, despite being given a four-match ban in March this year. Cape Verde
went on to win the match 2-0 and apparently secured a place in the third
round of qualifiers.
However, FIFA has now reversed the result and awarded Tunisia a 3-0
win, after comfirming Varela was selected, which means the North
Africans topped Group B and replaced Cape Verde.
The draws for the final round will be made on September 16 and the
winners of the two-legged ties, will represent Africa at Brazil next
year.
