Afcon: Mali risk disqualification from tournament in Egypt

The Mali national team are at the risk of being disqualified from the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

With only a few days to the commencement of the biennial tournament in Egpyt, Fifa is said to have issued an ultimatum to all stakeholders in Mali ahead of their general meeting scheduled for Saturday, June 15.

The world football governing body has warned that if there are no amicable solutions to the crisis plaguing the Malian Federation, the country may be suspended at all levels.

Since December 2017, the Mali Federation has been under the tutelage of a standardisation committee put in place to draft new statutes within the Federation, and to reorganise current affairs.
