@DexxterUtd This was when I could watch an EPL game for 90 minutes without leaving my seat. These days 15 minutes into the game I am either bored or sleepy. Football has changed

NFF 🇳🇬 petition filed to FIFA over the DR Congo 🇨🇩 case. 👇👇👇
To:
FIFA Disciplinary Committee
Legal & Compliance Division
Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA)
From:
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF)
Abuja,Nigeria.
Date: 10th Dec., 2025
Subject: Formal Complaint Against Fédération Congolaise de Football Association (FECOFA) for Fielding Ineligible Players – 2026 FIFA World Cup African Qualifying Playoff
Dear Members of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee,
The Nigeria Football Federation (“NFF”) hereby submits this formal complaint against the Fédération Congolaise de Football Association (“FECOFA”) arising from the alleged use of ineligible players by the Democratic Republic of Congo (“DR Congo”) national team in the CAF 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifying Playoff match held on 16 November 2025, in Rabat, Morocco, where DR Congo defeated Nigeria on penalties.
1. FACTUAL BACKGROUND
On 16 November 2025, Nigeria’s senior men’s team (“Super Eagles”) faced DR Congo in the final African playoff to determine qualification for the intercontinental playoff stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
DR Congo fielded multiple players (reported between six and nine) whose eligibility to represent the Democratic Republic of Congo is challenged by the NFF due to alleged non-compliance with both domestic nationality requirements and relevant FIFA regulations.
2. BASIS OF COMPLAINT
A. Allegations of Misleading Documentation
The NFF contends that DR Congo submitted documentation to FIFA purporting to establish the eligibility of the contested players. However, evidence before the NFF suggests that several of these players held foreign passports and may not have complied with Congolese nationality laws, which prohibit dual citizenship—a factor foundational to their eligibility under both national and international law.
B. Conflict Between Domestic Law and FIFA Clearances
The NFF acknowledges that FIFA’s Regulations Governing the Application of the FIFA Statutes ordinarily deem a player eligible to represent a national team when holding the nationality of that country and satisfying related criteria. However, in this instance, the NFF asserts that FIFA’s clearance was granted on the basis of incomplete or misleading information supplied by FECOFA, and therefore FIFA may have been misled in the player-eligibility confirmation process.
C. Integrity of Competition
Fielding players with questionable eligibility undermines the integrity and fairness of the competition as envisaged in Articles 4 and 6 of the FIFA Statutes, which mandate equal opportunity and regulatory compliance by all member associations.
3. LEGAL GROUNDS
The complaint is predicated on alleged violations of:
a. FIFA Statutes & Regulations Governing the Application of the FIFA Statutes
Particularly those provisions requiring that all documentation provided for player eligibility be complete, accurate, and compliant with both FIFA and pertinent national legal requirements.
b. FIFA Disciplinary Code
For misrepresentation and breaches of sporting integrity, where misleading FIFA authorities on eligibility matters constitutes a punishable offense.
4. EVIDENCE PROVIDED
The NFF attaches the following as supporting evidence:
*Certified copies of passports and nationality documentation of the contested players.
*Documentation of Congolese nationality law showing prohibition of dual citizenship.
*Official correspondence and clearance notices issued by FIFA for the contested players.
*Match sheets reflecting the fielding of the contested players during the playoff.
5. RELIEF SOUGHT
The NFF respectfully requests that FIFA:
Conduct a detailed investigation into the alleged eligibility breaches.
Determine whether the alleged violations warrant sanctions under the FIFA Statutes and Disciplinary Code.
If violations are substantiated:
Award the match to Nigeria or otherwise adjust the result in accordance with FIFA Rules;

@IGWE299 @Chrisay_ @QualityQuadry And what about Cameroon? How many World Cups have they played with dual-national players? The jurisprudence already exists.

@oluwashina This is what the likes of Taribo West was talking about, we really don’t value and honor our own. This is amazing to see what club sides in Netherlands did for their ex player Tijani.
