… verdict not given yet – NFF
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has refuted reports claiming that FIFA has made a decision on Nigeria’s protest against the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) over alleged ineligible players.
NFF officials stated that no verdict has been issued by FIFA on the matter.
Ademola Olajire, NFF’s Director of Communications, labeled the reports of a decision in favor of either Nigeria or DR Congo as “false and misleading.”
Ademola emphasized, “There is no decision from FIFA at this time. Any claims that a ruling has been made are false. FIFA has not communicated any verdict to the NFF or the Congolese federation,” in an interview with 234Sports.
