Rwanda has been disqualified from the
2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Confederation of African Football (Caf)
on Sunday relayed the information on
Sunday afternoon saying that Rwanda
had fielded Dady Birori who has two different
identities during their preliminary clash against
Congo.
According to the body, Congo will replace Amavubi in
Group A.
Birori was suspended after he used different names
while playing for national team and his club AS Vita
few days ago. He has also been suspended
indefinitely
Reports indicate that he was known as Tady Etekiama
Agiti born 12th December 1986 in Kinshasa but when
he moved to Rwanda he took up Birori Dady and his
date of birth reads 13th December 1990.
"The protest by Congo contested the eligibility of the
player Birori Dady aligned with Rwanda, and plays for
the AS Vita Club of Kinshasa with Congolese (DRC)
passport as Etekiama Agiti Tady, and a different age."
"Following investigations by Caf and on the basis of
documents provided by the federations of Rwanda,
Congo and DR Congo, and hearing the player's
testimony on 11 August 2014 at Caf headquarters in
Cairo, Caf established that the two identities only
referred to a single person."
"While the Rwandan Football Federation (FERWAFA)
maintained that to their knowledge the player Dady
Birori had one identity, investigations revealed that
he was summoned as Etekiama Agiti Tady by
FERWAFA to join the national team of Rwanda."
