Kurdistan’s 9:0 victory against Tamil Eelam has been annulled and the match awarded as a 3:0 win to Tamil Eelam, after Kurdistan included too many players in their squad, the Tamil Guardian has learned.
The Kurdish team had 26 players in their squad, although only 21 are allowed to be included by the governing body, said sources close to TEFA.
This means that Tamil Eelam finishes second in Group A and will play Ellan Vannin (Isle of Man) in the quarterfinal on Wednesday at 19:00 CET.
All matches can be watched live here.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
