Nigeria Gets Friday Deadline From FIFA

Nigeria got a temporary reprieve from the world football governing body, FIFA Tuesday.

According to FIFA’s Secretary-General Jerome Valcke in a letter addressed to the President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, there was nothing wrong in giving Nigerian football a last opportunity to avoid a lengthy suspension.

But in the letter to Pinnick, FIFA said that if they do not receive proof that the case has been definitively withdrawn from court and the board elected on September 30 is able to carry out its activities without any hindrance, they would refer the case to FIFA Emergency Committee for implementation of the suspension.

Hopefully, the NFF is able to put its house in order by withdrawing the suit already pending in a court.
