FKF noted that CAF decision was wrong, ill-timed, retrogressive and against the spirit of fairness.

In addition, FKF has retaliated that its protest against ineligible fielding of Annette Jacky Messomo is firm and that the player is not a genuine citizen of Equatorial Guinea; for she has lived and played for Cameroon and Europe.
