I've been asking myself this for a long time now,, tried googling it, buh the explanation they gave wasn't straight.. Of course I don't believe that story of India using black magic and being banned, and that they beat us 99-1...

Where they banned by FIFA, and if so, for what reason?

Y does nigeria nt partake in international rugby? Abegi!

But they can't participate in all sports competition na. Football is not popular in India just like cricket is not popular in Nigeria and I'm not sure Nigeria participates in any cricket competition sef but Indians are dominant in that sport like tomorrow no dey

I'm also sure Nigeria has a cricket league of some sort but that does not make it popular. How competitive is it? How many Indians watch football? In fact how many Indians are playing in the league? I'm sure if football is anything close to been popular then one of the most populous country in the world (India) should be able to produce a 23 man squad for football tournaments every year and not the scanty appearance they have in Asian football tournaments talk less of FIFA

you are very correct, football is not that popular in india just like rugby and cricket are not popular in nigeria. True they have a football league that they are just developing but it will take lots of time before they start developing players dat can compete in competition, atleast asian cup for a start.
They have their own main sport wich is cricket and u can't force football on them just like u can't make soccer main sport of americans... They have their american football and basketball
