Nigeria U-17 players fail age tests ahead of the World Cup

FIFA’s under-17 World Cup coming up in October is already drawing up some controversies, mainly for the Nigerian team, some key players in the team recently failed FIFA's age tests. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) which was used to scan the wrist of some of the Nigerian U-17 team in order to find their true age showed some of the players to be over the age limit. Only players between the grade 1 and 5 of the scan are eligible to participate in the tournament.

FIFA introduced MRI scans to check the ages of players at the 2009 Under-17 World Cup, which took place in Nigeria.Fans and media alike have always questioned the ages of some of the players in the team.

Whats new. After all Nigeria only stsrted issuing birth certificates in the late 80's!

Most people really do not know when they were born. Their parents were illiterate, there is no such things as class photographs and no one really talked about the date of birth of another person until the rush to get to the 'western world' became the craze!
