Ghanaweb you're right, fifa is not a constitutional court. Only sometimes they can produce a fake Nobel peace prize
Sorry Nigeria.
Nigeria could not beat Congo to qualify the WC but want a free passage to enter into the competion. Better luck next time. Meanwhile Nigeria can forget about the 2026 WC
Nigerians ahd be ashamed of themselves. Why can't a country of 250 million ppl set up football academies like France or Senegal. The state shd be able to assist clubs to do so if they can't do it.Nigeria is as useless as Ghan ...

Who determines who is a Congolese, Nigeria or Congo?
So, what if the Congolese authorities come out with an 'evidence' (if even fake), that the law prohibiting dual citizenship was abolished before the game?
Would FIFA go ahead to determine if they are lying or not?
It is their law, and it is only they who decide how it should be applied. They can choose to make exceptions.

Nigeria found a place to sleep
