FIFA suspends Nigeria The FIFA Emergency Committee has decided Wednesday to suspend the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) with immediate effect, on account of government interference. Article 13, par. 1 and article 17, par. 1 of the FIFA Statutes oblige member associations to manage their affairs independently and with no influence from third parties. The decision follows a letter sent by FIFA to the NFF on 4 July, 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. The said court order compelled the Nigerian Minister of Sports, Tamino Danagogo 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 The suspension will be lifted once the court actions have been withdrawn and the properly elected NFF Executive Committee, the NFF general assembly and the NFF administration are able to work without any interference in their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. http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2014/07/09/fifa-suspends-nigeria-with-immediate-effect/ 4 Likes

You people saying goodnews need ur head re-examined. U people are d real enemies of Nigerian football. Do u know our U17 team is scheduled to play DR Congo in U17 WC qualifiers next weekend? Do u know our Falconets have travelled to Canada where dey will take part in FIFA U20 WC? I pray our chalk brained authorities do d needful and get FIFA to reverse the ban. Haba was Nigeria the only country dat had a disappointing WC ounting? Going by our reactions in Nigeria, English, Spanish and Italian fans should have murdered all their players and officials by now. The other day some Nigerians were happy that France beat Nigeria. I don't understand these people. 93 Likes |

So the champions of Africa will not participate in the next CAF championships? That may be a little awkward FIFA... Look here Blatter, our federation officials are involved in corruption indictments and other charges, are you saying that because they are FIFA officials, they are above our national law and should not be tried? 37 Likes

Syenite: You people saying goodnews need ur head re-examined. U people are d real enemies of Nigerian football. Every member of FIFA understands the rules and guidelines as regards to government interference with football related activities and Nigeria is no exception, until NFF/ Sports administration in Nigeria become financially independent these issues would remain prevalent.. 7 Likes |
