Latest decisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee
12 Dec 2017


Following the recent meeting of the Disciplinary Committee, FIFA can today confirm the latest sanctions imposed for incidents that occurred during the preliminary competition for the FIFA World Cup™ as well as in international friendlies.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has been sanctioned for fielding an ineligible player in the match between Algeria and Nigeria on 10 November 2017. The match is declared to be forfeited and awarded 3-0 in favour of Algeria, with the NFF also receiving a fine of CHF 6,000.


The sanction relates to the player Abdullahi Shehu failing to serve the automatic one-match suspension imposed on him as a result of receiving a caution in two separate matches of the same competition. This sanction bears no impact on the final result of the preliminary competition for the FIFA World Cup since Nigeria had already qualified (and Algeria eliminated) before the match took place.

So if we hadn't qualified before that game,
our World Cup slot could have just been
lost. SUPER EAGLES VILLAGE PEOPLE FAILED THIS TIME.. They know we are going to win the world cup in Russia so they are trying everything possible to stop us.. THUNDER FIA THEM ALL

isan:
What kind of humiliation is this? Somebody must get sacked just if we needed that match to qualify? NFf are just stupid

femicyrus:
someone in NFF failed to do his job which could have denied us participation in the world cup if the last match was the decider.
if they remember to give oliseh his share of the qualifier bonus, how on earth did they forget a match ban on a player.
I really hope they will learn from this development..

femicyrus:
the more reason we must qualify for the next round before playing Argentina.
