FIFA Declares Emilio Nsue Ineligible for Equatorial Guinea After 11-Year Career

Equatorial Guinea stripped of World Cup qualification wins; Nsue faces six-month ban.

FIFA ruled that Nsue was ineligible due to prior appearances for Spain's youth teams.
Equatorial Guinea's victories against Namibia and Liberia in 2026 qualifiers have been nullified.
Nsue continued playing despite FIFA's initial 2013 ruling denying his eligibility switch.
The Equatoguinean federation has been fined 150,000 Swiss francs for fielding Nsue.
Nsue and the national federation have the option to appeal the decision.
