    Niger u-17 team accepted by FIFA in cup

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niger_...#Current_Squad

    And 5 of them just happen to be born exactly January 1, 2000, and two of them January 1, 2001 in order to meet requiements.

    Hilariously enough, FIFA approved of this. Nothing of suspicion here, lol.

    In some parts of the world (and some cultures) people dont track the exact date of birth so they just use first of january and the year they were born for documents and official stuff.

    In the history of FIFA this is barely anything or any issue. Not sure why you would make an issue of it and i'm being kind here in not speculating about your usual motives.

    Yeah when Niger faces Germany in a football match the score board shows NIG-GER and gets a hashtag #NIGGER on twitter. Really bad name.

    FIFA is rotten to the core and the fact they gave the world cup to Qatar proved it!

    A state that is well known to use indentured workers to build its stadiums and it is awash with corruption!

    You do realize it's because of a war torn nation and birth records being destroyed?

    Take your racism elsewhere.

    Nobody needs any proof of that, the appointment of 2020 to Qatar says it all, ignoring all other problems with that nation and simply looking at the temperatures there making it a hostile environment for people to play in. I for see a player getting killed there or at the very least hospitalized due to the weather conditions.

    But we both know what your problem with this really is, and it boils down to either skin color or religion. I'm guessing after the last ban you decided to be a bit more subtle but don't worry the hammer will slam upon you again eventually

    I was wrong but if they ever played it would be GER - NIG to avoid it reguardless of whoever is home/away. Although they have never played (and probably never will).

    FUN BUSTED.

    What a shame! A few days ago we had NIR-GER when Northern Ireland faced Germany.. close enough I guess.

    Took all of 30 seconds to find out that the country has a problem with accurate/comprehensive birth records:

    https://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/niger_71507.html

    But please, by all means, continue the circle jerk.
