Nigeria Awaits FIFA Verdict
Nigeria’s football family is growing uneasy as FIFA has yet to decide on a complaint over the eligibility of players used by DR Congo in last November’s Africa 2026 World Cup play-off.
The issue centres on whether DR Congo fielded ineligible players during the crucial encounter, a situation that could alter the outcome and reopen Nigeria’s path to the global tournament.
The Nigeria Football Federation is understood to have lodged a formal protest shortly after the match, seeking clarity from world football’s governing body.
Since then, officials and fans have waited for a final verdict that may reshape the qualification picture.
With time ticking and preparations for the World Cup gathering pace, many supporters believe the ruling could either shut the door completely or hand the Super Eagles an unexpected second chance.
