I do talk am before. FIFA has no legal basis to interpret DRC constitution for them. DRC government statement will just tell them that dual citizenship prohibition in effect currently is legal unrecognition of the other citizenship per 2007 law and thus their passports are valid. Case closed. This has likely already happened during the switch process.

Leave them to enjoy their World Cup delulu.

Oluoluomo:
You sure ? Something wey Sudan and Cameron complained to FIFA about. Ok.

Oma akatugba is always seeking relevance from the controversial position. We are saying the Congolese FA have tricked or deceived FIFA by presenting documents which are illegal. Since their laws or what is legal in Congo is that Congolese citizens cannot have dual citizenship. Does the aforementioned players have dual citizenship? Yes? Is this this legal in Congo to have dual citizenship? NO. Have the Congolese tried to manipulate FIFA deliberately or otherwise in presenting Congolese Passports to FIFA when they should know that their players cannot have dual passport? That's up for debate but does it nullify those players as Congolese players? I believe YES it can be argued that it is a breach of the Congolese laws

isan:
I hope FIFA just leave congo alone ... On the pitch they did nothing wrong...EOD

fifa cleared moekona to play because South Africa brought him on the list, it’s not fifa job to your home work, if you make mistakes and no one catches you fine, it’s their choice to leave but if you opponent catches your folly, fifa will bounce on you.

Explain how Aaron wan bissaka and Michel held a British and Belgium passport in 2025 and didn’t forfeit neither prior to Holding a Congolese passport in the same 2025. I do not know whether you’re intentionally playing Slow or acting Dumb. But, it’s clear that FIFA eligibility rules were broken

do you know this is what even makes the case stronger by DrC laws, they are not Congolese till the renounce the other citizenship.

Is this thing not simple enough?
FIFA can decide to look the other way but then fifa will most probably not look the other way because of a drc that was fraudulent.

You keep switching the Goalposts in question. While Belgium and England might not grant birthright Citizenship. The players in question are Belgium and England citizens and most importantly held Belgium and England passport prior to November 2025. If holding a Belgium and England passports prior to November 2025 doesn’t not indicate being a citizen of those Countries, I do not know what else to say. The players in question has to officially declare to FIFA that, they forfeited their Belgium and England passport to play for Congo considering congo do not accept dual-citizenship. All information has to be prior to November 2025.
There’s a reason why Tobias lawal, ehizigbue, orban hasn’t played for Nigeria because of eligibility discrepancies. Like I said, only way for congo to get out of this is to Tamper justice with mercy and if fifa tampers justice with mercy for Congo. It has to follow through for everyone

Odunayaw:
What are you even saying? Did he play under the Dutch flag?

The koko is that we allow so

How are they citizens of Congo the day they were born when they were born at Belgium and England respectively? Congo Dual-citizenship has a leeway and such leeway stipulates that, the individual has to be a minor “under 21” to be able to obtain 2 National team passport. The issue here is that, these players clearly Holds two national team passport and one of the country in question forbids holding Dual-passport

The guy is a Dullard. Ekong plays for Nigeria and Nigeria clearly accepts Dual-citizenship. Additionally, ekong followed Due process 1+ year to be approved to play for Nigeria. I do not know how else to explain the law clearly written on fifa website. The only way congo can get out of this is tampering justice with mercy

Dannyxy:
lol Ekong plays for us, and we accept dual nationality, what are you saying bro?

Bannedlargejr:
If I call you an illiterate now, they will say that I am harsh. You saw someone post FIFA eligibility law directly from their website and decided to post this information

ekehopp2:
Considering how FIFA handled the Emilio Nsue (Spanish-born footballer for Equatorial Guinea case), I believe they forfeited two 2026 World Cup Qualifying games, we can be somewhat hopeful.

It was a nationality switch case too.

Papi85:
FIFA president don pass judgement

Bannedlargejr:
Some of the players with Dual-Citizenship that played against Nigeria Includes

Aaron wan bissaka
Michel Balikwisha

They should either show their time of denouncing their British Passport prior to November 2025 or they have broken the Law. Anything contrary, is tampering justice with mercy

zuchyblink:
Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali is a HUGE DOUBT for AFCON 2025

• Benjamin Frederick - Out
• William Troost-Ekong - Retired
• Stanley Nwabali - Doubtful

#AFCON2025

Sarsaparilla524:
Stanley Nwabali is set to miss AFCON. It is reported that he aggravated his injury woes at the playoffs in Morocco.
We could be seeing a potential call-up of Wrexham FC's young goalkeeper, Arthur Okonkwo.
