Breaking News ! FIFA hammers Nigeria, suspends NFF indefinitely !

The Fifa Emergency Committee has announced that it has suspended the Nigerian Football Association with immediate effect

due to alleged “government interference.”

“The decision follows a letter sent by FIFA to the NFF on 4 July 2014, in which it expressed its great concern after the

NFF was served with court proceedings and consequently an order preventing the president of the NFF, the NFF Executive

Committee members and the NFF Congress from running the affairs of Nigerian football was granted by a High Court of the

Federal Republic of Nigeria,” a statement read.

“The said court order compelled the Nigerian Minister of Sports to appoint a senior member of the civil service to

manage the NFF until the matter was heard in court, without giving any date for such a hearing. The authorities then

appointed a person who decided to convene an extraordinary general assembly on 5 July 2014. This extraordinary general

assembly was convened in violation of the NFF statutes.

“Originally, an elective congress had been planned by the NFF to take place on 26 August 2014.

“The suspension will be lifted once the court actions have been withdrawn and the properly elected NFF Executive

Committee, the NFF general assembly and the NFF administration are able to work without any interference in their

affairs.

“As a result of this decision, no team from Nigeria of any sort (including clubs) can have any international sporting

contact (art. 14 par. 3 of the FIFA Statutes). During the period of suspension, the NFF may not be represented in any

regional, continental or international competitions, including at club level, or in friendly matches. The most immediate

effect is that Nigeria will not be entitled to participate in the upcoming FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup (5-24 August

2014) should the suspension not be lifted by 15 July 2014.

“In addition, neither the NFF nor any of its members or officials may benefit from any FIFA or CAF development

programmes, courses or training during the suspension period.”
