Niger National Cup: Club disqualified for using forged documents

The Central Competitions Committee of the Nigerien Football Federation (FENIFOOT) has delivered its verdict in the case involving Ourana FC and the National Gendarmerie Sports Union in the Round of 16 of the 2026 Niger National Cup. The National Gendarmerie Sports Union had filed a protest against Ourana FC from Arlit, challenging the validity of three international transfer certificates (ITC).

The final decision is unequivocal: Ourana FC, who had won 1-0, forfeits the match by administrative ruling and will not participate in the quarter-finals. The club has also been sanctioned for forgery.
