NKRUMAH PRESIDENTE DE GHANA SALUDA A LOS "BLACK STARS" DE GHANA

CLASIFICACIÓN

Zone 1

Egypt qualified by default after both Morocco and Nigeria withdrew. Egypt later withdrew

itself due to the deterioration of its diplomatic relations with Tunisia following a speech

in Jericho by Tunisian President Bourguiba calling on Arab countries to recognize Israel.

4.Uganda 6 1 0 5 6-15 2

* the match in Nairobi between Kenya and Ethiopia was later awarded as a 0-2 walkover win,

after Ethiopia lodged a protest with C.A.F. because Kenya had fielded two players (Moses Wabwayi

and Stephen Baraza) who were ineligible as they had represented Uganda previously. The walkover

enabled Ethiopia to qualify ahead of Sudan. C.A.F. also suspended the two players for one year

(backdated beginning from September 1964) after Uganda protested that they were still registered

with the Uganda F.A. and had not received official transfers. Kenya argued against the ruling

and sent documents to prove that the two were Kenyan citizens, having been born in Kenya.

The case was also referred to F.I.F.A.

Playoff

After Egypt withdrew, C.A.F. announced that there would be a playoff between the second-placed

teams in the other three Zones to determine Egypt's replacement in the final tournament. Sudan

declined the invitation to participate so a single playoff match was scheduled to be held in

Accra (Ghana) on 31-10-65 between Congo-Léopoldville and Guinea. However, Guinea withdrew

shortly before this date, leaving Congo-Léopoldville to qualify by default.

Round 1

Group 1

8- 4-61 Nigeria 0-0 Ghana [at Lagos]

30- 4-61 Ghana 2-2 Nigeria [at Accra] [HT 1-0] [Nigeria won on lots*]

[Edward Acquah, Edward Jonah Aggrey-Fynn / Dejo Fayemi 50', Elkanah Onyeali 75']

[* the drawing of lots took place in London on 27-9-1961]

Group 2

5- 8-61 Kenya 0-1 Uganda [at Nairobi]

['Congo' Odong 17']

23- 9-61 Uganda 0-1 Kenya [at Kampala]

[Munialo Opicho 75']

29-10-61 Uganda 2-0 Kenya [playoff at Kampala]

[Jimmy Ssewava 50', Hassan Fauza 80']

Note: regulations stipulated that the tie should be decided by drawing lots (as with

Ghana-Nigeria in the previous round), but as both Kenya and Uganda felt the match

should be decided on the pitch, CAF agreed to their request to stage a playoff.

[Sudan was also in Group 2 but withdrew]

Note: some modern sources claim wrongly that Uganda eliminated Zanzibar over two legs;

no evidence of this was found in Ugandan newspapers of the time, and besides,

Zanzibar was not a member of the African Football Confederation. Any matches

between Uganda and Zanzibar in this period were certainly not part of this tournament

(as confirmed by official CAF documentation).

Note: similarly, some modern sources wrongly report the following additional matches in Round 1:

6- 4-61 Ethiopia 6-1 Kenya

- 4-61 Kenya 5-4 Ethiopia

However no evidence of these matches whatsoever was found in East African newspapers.

It seems certain that these two results were confused with two friendly matches

played just before the final tournament, as follows:

31-12-61 Ethiopia 4-3 Kenya

7- 1-62 Ethiopia 6-1 Kenya

Both these games were played in Addis Ababa and were friendlies, not qualifying games

(this has been confirmed in East African newspapers and in official FIFA/CAF documentation).

Group 3

Round 2

Lots were drawn by CAF to decide which of the three group winners (Nigeria, Uganda, Tunisia)

would qualify directly; Uganda prevailed, leaving Nigeria and Tunisia to play each other for

the one remaining qualifying berth.

25-11-61 Nigeria 2-1 Tunisia [at Lagos]

[Patrick Noquapor 30' 84' / Ali Klibi 'Toto' 25']

10-12-61 Tunisia awd Nigeria [at Tunis] [awarded 2-0 after Nigeria walked off with the score at 2-2]

[Moncef Chérif 21', Abdelmajid Chetali 65' / Albert Onyeanwuna 12', Chukwumah Igweonu 25']

[Notes: Nigeria walked off in protest after Chetali's goal at 65'; CAF decided that Tunisia therefore qualified.

The first Nigerian scorer is also reported as Ekpe.]

Final Tournament (Addis Ababa, Ethiopia)

All matches were played at the Haile Selassie I Stadium in Addis Ababa.

The tournament was postponed from 1961 due to delays in the stadium renovation work.
