The top football governing body in the world, FIFA has announced that they might soon ban Nigeria from the 2018 world cup in Russia and other football related activities around the world if it found out that a third party has been interfering in the country’s football affairs.
FIFA’s warning is coming after a Supreme Court decision on Friday directing all individuals aiming for the leadership of the Nigerian Football Federation to go back to the Jos High court to sort out the suit filed by one of the parties claiming it is the right board to lead the federation.
FIFA warned Nigeria over the weekend that it would not hesitate to kick the country out of all football related events; including the 2018 World Cup, if any third party involve itself in the NFF crisis. It also reminded Nigeria that the petitioners in the leadership tussle were banned from all football activities and therefore should not be seen meddling or taking part in anything related to the game.
