According to the association, at least eleven players must have had a negative test
The organizers did not initially provide information about the further procedure. The rules of the African governing body CAF basically stipulate that a team must play if at least eleven players have a negative corona test. If a goaltender is not available, an outfield player must step in. The Comoros completed a training session on Saturday evening.
