DUSHANBE, August 20, 1011, Asia-Plus -- FIFA confirmed on August 19 that the Syrian soccer team has been disqualified from the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, and that Tajikistan is thereby reinstated into the competition.
The FIFA Disciplinary Committee on August 17 declared the first-leg match of the Second Round (Syria-Tajikistan of July 23, 2011) to be lost by Syria by forfeit (0:3) due to an ineligible player (George Mourad) in the Syrian team taking part in this match.
The FIFA Disciplinary Committee reached the same decision regarding the second leg match (Tajikistan-Syria of July 28, 2011) due to the same ineligible player also taking part in this match.

1. The Syrian team is disqualified from the competition, losing their 2nd round knockout phase by forfeit.
