FIFA Queries NFF For Ban On Lesbianism by eddyj36(m): 8:12am On Mar 08, 2013
Soccer’s governing body
FIFA has written to the
Nigerian Football Association
over reports that lesbians
had been banned from
playing football in the West
African nation.
A FIFA spokesman confirmed
the letter but emphasised it
was a preliminary inquiry.
Nigerian media reports have
widely quoted Dilichukwu
Onyedinma, head of the
country’s women’s football
league, as saying lesbian
players would not be
allowed to compete.
“Any player that we find is
associated with it will be
disqualified,” Onyedinma was
quoted as saying. “We will
call the club chairmen to
control their players, and
such players will not be able
to play for the national
team,” she added.
Gay rights campaigners
including the Federation of
Gay Games, the European
Gay and Lesbian Sport
Federation said they had
written to FIFA president
Sepp Blatter about the
alleged ban.
