Equatorial Guinea officials clearly aren't the best at admin. Having been in trouble for fielding an illegible man already, they forget to fill out the age of 14 of their players.

Equatorial Guinea have revealed their 23 man squad for the African Cup of Nations but forgot to fill in the age section of the document leaving then all 115 years old.

Furthermore, the 14 ageing players named by Equatorial Guinea are Spanish-born, causing yet more controversy.

Although no strangers to calling up players imported from other countries, Equatorial Guinea were recently expelled from the Nations Cup qualifiers for fielding a illegible player Thierry Fidieu who is Cameroon-born.

However, with original hosts Morocco pulling out of the event with Ebola fears Equatorial Guinea offered to host the event and were restored as a result.

Thing is, it might be a difficult task for a side with 14 players with a reported combined age of 1610! What a schoolboy error.
