There is one Alessandro Marcandalli in Genoa. Owngoal reports that he is eligible for SE. Transfer market also recognises that fact though he has played for Italy U-21. Who has watched him play? How good is he?

Shebi you people have already said that the laws of the land don't matter?


You people said that passport matters more than the laws of the land?


Why bother again


Let everybody start dashing passport left, right and center.


I trust the Arab nations with oil money... They go too buy players and dash them passport.

Shebi passport is all that matters


FIFA go clear players tire

And the enemy within doesn't take that into consideration before posting it. So sha our enemy be confused in our life in jesus name we pray.

Wait so that kid is Nigerian too. Na wa ooo. No hint of Nigerian in his name at all. I noticed him vs Orban's Verona earlier this 25/26 season and also against Milan earlier this month. Kid looks decent and is quite dominant aerially.
His passing could be better though but he looked really decent the 2 times I saw him play and I was not even watching those games to observe him specially. He just caught the eye coz of his height and number (27).

It's really shocking to see he is Nigerian. Omo, another one to pursue.

If you had read the entire message you wouldn't have jumped the 10.2.

The players in question were eligible to obtain Congolese nationality of which their government granted them that as opposed to holding them from birth.

The primary requirement for FIFA regarding that is nationality is a passport of that nation. If that is the case from FIFA's end they have to then verify if they met the parental, birth or residency link according to their guidelines in my last point.

I can now see why IELTS and TOEFL are required for Nigerians trying to study abroad, smh.

I'm entitled to my opinion regarding the matter, I don't believe the NFF has a case based on FIFA eligibility guidelines.

If the SE are successful I'll support them at the WC playoff and the main tournament

If DRC law does not recognize dual citizenship, then any player who still legally holds another nationality may NOT be a Congolese national under DRC law and FIFA eligibility depends on valid nationality under national law.

I don't know your problem with Nigeria. FIFA has acted on nationality law conflicts before. Court of Arbitration for Sport have ruled in past cases that national law overrides football convenience. If nationality is invalid or improperly acquired then the player is ineligible, matches can be forfeited even years later

This isn’t about sentiment. FIFA eligibility depends on valid nationality under national law. If DRC law does not recognize dual citizenship, then players who still hold and use foreign nationality may not legally be Congolese at all. That’s not opinion it’s FIFA Article 5. Nigeria is right to ask FIFA to examine the legality.”


But saying “NFF has no case” is simply false. There is clearly a legal basis worth examining. You so dismissing this as “no case” is either ignorance or bad faith.

This info only breaks my heart more. Kaaaiiiii... so Ndidi did that Kanu celebration for his dad? Who would have thought it a parting adieu? Life goes by fast indeed. I can relate to Wilf's pain.

Anyone claiming that the NFF used ChatGPT and Wikipedia to prepare the petition against DR Congo should not be taken SERIOUSLY.

You were not present when the petition was drafted or submitted to FIFA for consideration. You’re simply drawing your own conclusions and using online articles to support your argument.

Let him continue defending DR Congo if he wants. As far as I’m concerned, this case could go either way.

DR Congo is not taking this matter lightly; they are also worried about Nigeria’s petition.

All we can do is stay positive about the case. So let’s ignore that MAN and keep faith in the petition.
