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
Stop crying
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 ...

You should also report that Iran have already qualified for World Cup 2026 and used dual nationality players to do so, despite the fact that dual citizenship is also forbidden by Iran. Furthermore, dual citizenship is forbidd ...

Let me make it more clear: The Nigeria FF is chasing THEIR OWN shadows

DID YOU PEOPLE QUALIFY FOR AFCON
Which case, when did u haters become lawyers
If FIFA rules in favour of Nigeria, go and overturn it.
Your arguments are always based on emotions, no substance. Aren't you ashamed of what your country is trying to do, get to the world cup through the backdoor? Anyway, you guys do worse things than this, shame is a foreign fee ...

TJ MY GUY , DONT MIND THOSE ROTTEN BLACK BUGGARS CALLING THEMSELVES BLACK STARS
Prepare for 2030 world cup not 2026
Exactly Mike! That is what I think too: Today no good, 4 years will be better
Sometimes it’s so shameful to be a Nija-rian - apuuu
The Nigerians are seeking favors from football govern institutions to be at the world cup. First CAF favored them with player ineligibility against the South Africa and also changed the rules in mid of the qualifies to elimin ...

NAIJA WANT TO BE AT THE 2026 WORLDCUP BY FORCE, OR HOOK OR CROOK.419 IN DISGUISE!!
So desperate bunch of 419 people. FIFA that will be a bad precedent. FIFA has already pampered them too much. Congo should be heavily fined, the player suspended. FIFA should also through liase with the national team bodi ...

Your country lead in crime, we follow. Stop the rant
to fulfill all righteousness let's have all parties in this matter have their say, the Republic of Congo's own law its been used against them, cause if daul nationality was still not allowed before the match, then those se ...

Who determines who is a Congolese, Nigeria or Congo?
Nigeria thinks they have the right to decide who is Congolese and who is not.
It's shameful.
I think the Congolese voodoo that the Nigeria coach complained about has finally gotten into NFF
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.
Exactly my thoughts. Do you know countries can make exceptions and give nationality and passports to a foreign ambassador who was so helpful to the country when the ambassodor is been recalled?
Even if they qualify by let my people go process, aren't they going to wobble and fumble at the tournament because they don't understand it that their primary aim is to win the cup and not to just participate.
Nigeria found a place to sleep
That is the opinion of the writer not FIFA. Wait for the FIFA decision on the matter
Nigeria wants to found every ways and means to qualify
.No way!!! better lock in four years time. Concentrate on the Africa cup of nations.
Was the complaint logged within 24hrs ?
No - Case Closed (likely)
Yes - investigate
Do all players have DRC passports ?
Yes - Case Closed (likely)
No - investigate
Will DRC roll over and die , as Nigeria wishes ?
No - ...

Nigeria complained to FIFA about South Africa and they had 3 points deducted. Still Nigeria did not qualify. Now they want to complain about DRC and enter World Cup. How pathetic
419 Nigeria will do anything to be at the World Cup, even be ball boys. They are not good enough. Just focus on AFCON.
Every sovereign countries's law should be maintained along with FIFA's rules to eliminate corruption, otherwise any erring country/person should be dealt with for others to learn. South Africa case is a good example.
You nothing but enemy of Nigeria and will see them in group K in Mexico Fifa World cup.
It's clear DRC deceived FIFA for clearance and that in the FIFA rule is disqualification and fine to their federation so go get yourse ...

Shame on the Nigerian football Federation. They thought that coercing FIFA to deduct points from South Africa using Lesotho as their pawns would gift them the top spot in their group. They failed dismally as Bafana won their ...

Nigerians love football but I am of view that if can't win in the open field, we should not rely on board rooms to get us there

You’re missing the key point here. If NFF is able to prove that DR Congo misled FIFA by falsifying documents which led to clearance from FIFA through misinformation, that would be a strong case and worst case scenario which ...
