Avant la Coupe du monde, la FIFA savait que le gardien de but du Congo n’\u00e9tait pas \u00e9ligible, mais elle l’a autoris\u00e9 \u00e0 poursuivre la comp\u00e9tition. C’est ce que sugg\u00e8rent des articles publi\u00e9s mardi par le *New York Times* et *Le Monde*.<\/p>\n
Ces publications s’appuient sur des documents internes de la FIFA concernant le cas de Lionel Mpasi, une affaire qui a attir\u00e9 l’attention sur les proc\u00e9dures disciplinaires de l’instance dirigeante du football. D’apr\u00e8s ces rapports, Mpasi, \u00e2g\u00e9 de 32 ans et ancien international fran\u00e7ais des moins de 17 ans, n’a jamais finalis\u00e9 la proc\u00e9dure de changement de nationalit\u00e9 sportive pour repr\u00e9senter le Congo, pays avec lequel il a des liens familiaux.<\/p>\n
Mpasi a disput\u00e9 les quatre matchs du Congo lors de la Coupe du monde, notamment le match nul (1-1) contre le Portugal de Cristiano Ronaldo. Il a \u00e9galement pris part \u00e0 cinq rencontres de qualification au cours de l’ann\u00e9e \u00e9coul\u00e9e, dont une victoire contre la Jama\u00efque en mars qui a permis au Congo de se qualifier pour sa premi\u00e8re Coupe du monde en plus de cinquante ans.<\/p>\n
Les articles affirment qu’il n’a jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9ligible et que l’\u00e9quipe aurait pu \u00eatre sanctionn\u00e9e par une d\u00e9faite sur tapis vert, conform\u00e9ment au r\u00e8glement de la FIFA. Ils ajoutent que, selon les documents de la FIFA, l’annulation des r\u00e9sultats du Congo lors des matchs de qualification auxquels Mpasi a particip\u00e9 aurait permis au Burkina Faso d’acc\u00e9der aux barrages africains \u00e0 sa place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
