After ensuring that the national team completes the World Football Team's mission, the Nigerian Football Association may then be suspended by FIFA. Due to factional struggles, FIFA does not recognize Chris Giwa as the legal chairman, but the country is unwilling to compromise, and the possibility of suspension has increased sharply.
This factional struggle began four years ago. The faction to which Giva belonged was at the time of the legitimacy of the chairman of the Nigerian Football Association. Later, due to a series of team disputes, it was banned by the African Football Association for five years and prohibited from participating in any football-related activities.
The struggle at that time was international, and FIFA warned about the possibility of ban and asked Geva to step down. If the ban was implemented at that time, it might be that Nigeria would not be able to play in the World Football Championship this year, and the struggle started again after the World Football Championship.
GW counterattack again, with the support of the government, Nigeria Supreme Court ruled that GIV is the legal chairman and demanded that the current chairman Amaju Pinnick step down, which once again angered FIFA.
FIFA bluntly stated that Binnik is the chairman of the Nigerian Football Association recognized by FIFA and has relevant regulations to ensure that the operation of the association is not disturbed by any external forces. Binnik is the chairman elected by a member of the Nigerian Football Association.
At the same time, FIFA has made a clearer position, pointing out that any external organization believes that it can change this result through its own strength, which is to be suspended, and it is natural.
If the ban is effective, the Nigerian national team, including men and women, and youth training system teams, shall not participate in any FIFA certified international competition.
