Dont come here to insult the NFA and the Super Eagles. National teams around the world do make recourse to rules and regulations to get even, especially, when stakes are high.

Kudos to NFA for even thinking towards this direction. I thought they were all daft men, without iota of reasoning. Coming up with this discovery is a good one.

World cup is not just about winning matches. It is about representation, participation and making history. No matter how bad you feel the SE are, they still deserve a place in the world cup

Nigerians self.
From fantastically corrupt in financial affairs to fantastically hopeful in football world cup qualifications.

you APC people and sha trying to make world cup participation as an achievement for tinubus failures will never not amaze me.

ViceGovernor:
You are not patriotic, you should be solidly behind your country no matter what the circumstances may be.

Those boys tried , also remember that our new coach took over after the train had already derailed so there was little time for him to imbibe his playing style into the squa.

We are definitely going to the world cup.
As for that Congo you are talking about, they cheated on the pitch not only did they cheat they also used voodoo, their juju man was on their bench chanting our players names and reciting incantations but God pass them.

Our coach also observed it and he complained but nobody listened.
They won the battle but they are about to lose the war.

If dr congo used juju, why didn't the juju help them win AFCON?

That juju excuse is flimsy, as even the devil is limited.

The super eagles were like a brand new team in the last Afcon, this was because they played poorly during the WC qualifiers and don't deserve a spot there.

But as a Nigerian, I will be glad to see Oshimen and lookman shine at this world cup.

RENO is dis u?

NFF should stop disgracing this country.

Corruption has made the giant of Africa a crying baby of Africa.

I pray we are not smuggled into the world cup because the team don't deserve it

SpaceX:
This is where tinubu should have share the envelopes with love to secure our spot

Just see y life. Nigeria still has a long way to go with people like you.

So because our opps used juju we should use juju too.

Two wrongs do not a make a right.
The fact that u refused to call them out for cheating instead you're somehow trying to blame our poor team which is the victim here says a lot about you.

Our performance i. Afcon was all about pure tactical superiority of our coach, it was the same team that played qualifiers and afcon but the style was different.
Mind you we were also robbed in that afcon by the good for nothing CAF and corruption riddled Moroccan FA including the racist slur chanting fans. 64,500 of them against 500 of our fans.

In a neutral venue they would have collected nothing less than 4 zero from the super eagles 🦅

The weak super eagles should cover themselves in shame. It's even more embarrassing knowing the country we're dragging a spot with.
These shouldn't have happened if they'd won all their matches as the "super eagles" and now we're waiting on a court ruling to go to the world cups through the back door.

They'd still be disgraced out.

May their final decision not favour us.

9ja should rest about this matter jare
Allow DRC go to WC at least they won on the pitch all this gragra na rubbish rather than out your house in order you are busy chasing shadows

It will be gross wickedness and impunity to give 9ja the nod.

I wish Nigeria and NFF all the best.

The only reason fifa might rule in Nigeria's favor is for financial reasons. They know Nigeria will pull in more fans than Congo especially now that many say that they are boycotting the games that will be played in the united states.

Nigeria wan use Juju go world cup

Nigeria is adopting Tinubu strategy. You failed to win and you're busy trying to come to workd cup through wuruwuru.

Make una go rest abeg.....

Stop giving false hopes.

Bunch of useless players and FA.

SHAME on y'all.

FIFA is set to rule on Monday on Nigeria’s petition against Democratic Republic of Congo over alleged use of ineligible players, a decision that could reshape Africa’s final World Cup qualification picture, Saturday PUNCH reports.

FIFA’s meeting scheduled for February 16 is expected to address numerous issues including the Nigeria Football Federation’s protest against DR Congo, with the outcome potentially reinstating the Super Eagles into the intercontinental play-offs in Mexico later this month, where one of the last World Cup tickets is on offer.

The NFF’s protest is centred on allegations that six Congolese players were ineligible during last year’s 2026 World Cup African play-offs, where Nigeria lost on penalties in Morocco.

NFF officials insist they would not have gone this far without confidence in their evidence.

“We believe that we have a chance; that is why we petitioned. If we knew we didn’t have a chance, we wouldn’t have petitioned,” NFF General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi said, stressing that Nigeria followed due process in submitting documents and legal arguments.

Adding a political dimension to the case is the reported involvement of CAF General Secretary Véron Mosengo-Omba, a Swiss-Congolese national with close ties to FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

With both Nigeria and DR Congo reportedly prepared to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport if dissatisfied, world football’s governing body is said to be treating the file with exceptional caution to avoid reputational damage.

At the heart of the dispute lies FIFA’s nationality-switching regulations. A player may only change international allegiance once and must do so through a formal, documented process approved by FIFA.

According to BBC Sports, Nigeria argues that the Congolese FA misrepresented facts regarding the nationality status of certain players, particularly given DR Congo’s domestic law prohibiting dual citizenship.

According to the NFF, FIFA may have been “deceived” into clearing the players, even if paperwork appeared valid on the surface.

Recent precedents, including FIFA’s firm stance in other eligibility cases, have encouraged Nigeria’s belief that the governing body will prioritise regulatory consistency.

A successful appeal would see Nigeria face the winner of Jamaica versus New Caledonia in Mexico, with a place at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico at stake.

The verdict will not only decide a footballing outcome but could also set a powerful precedent on how FIFA handles eligibility disputes in an era of complex nationality laws and globalised football careers.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Shehu Dikko, has suggested that the final recourse for Nigeria and DR Congo could be the Court of Arbitration for Sport following FIFA’s verdict.

“It requires a lot of things, and by the time it is finally decided, whether Nigeria wins or DR Congo wins, I believe the case might even go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport,” Dikko said.

NFF submitted a petition to FIFA on December 15, 2025, challenging the eligibility of six Congolese players who recently switched their international allegiance.

Let assume eagle were giving a chance ahead of Dr. Congo, how sure are you that the current unserious team will beat Jamaica or new Caledonia? Or you think it is automatic world cup ticket?

A disgrace loading

Be like Nigeria will go this worldcup o

ogaemma:
Nigerians and their lazy minded thinking.
NFF are mentally lazy.
Instead of work hard and qualify, they are looking for short cut.
I doubt if FIFA will pass any judgement that will favour the Lazy minded NFF.
Yeye dey smell

I know people like you very well. Incapable of objectivity. If DR Congo cheated by playing with ineligible players, should they be allowed to win by cheating?

Why are there rules in the first place if teams can do as they wish to win. National team and club and age group competitions all have their rules.

Teams are mandated to play by the rules. If they go through the back door and break the rules, why are you upset that their crime is being exposed. don't.

Your likes are the kind who will condemn people if the chips are down and turn round to celebrate the most if they win.

I will never be partakers of evil. Nigeria did not qualifed period. They dont deserve to be at the world cup. I am not like reno omonkey or helinus that lies have finished

Those reacting negatively are all bunch of cowards, they are reacting as if, if it favors Nigeria, they won be happy and watch the games. Foolishness in disguise
