Comoros left-back turned goalkeeper Chaker Alhadhur to auction iconic shirt
Comoros defender Chaker Alhadhur, who famously featured as a goalkeeper for his nation in the round 16 tie against Cameroon is set to auction his iconic goalkeeper jersey he wore during that game.
The Coelacanths had to face the hosts with Alhadhur in goal since their two goalkeepers tested positive for COVID-19 while the other was missing the game due to injury.
The 30-year-old who wore the number 3 shirt when playing at left back was forced to officially wear number 16 during the game as it was a number assigned to goalkeepers but Alhadhur famously taped his jersey number 3 over the gold official lettering on the Comoros goalkeepers jersey for the match.
