After Nigeria's inept performance in the World Cup the Nigerian Government has decided to ban the team from all competitions for the next 2 years.
This is blatant political interfering which is clearly in breach of FIFA rules. For once, FIFA appears to be showing some muscle and has given a 48 hour ultimatum for this decision to be reversed. If this is not done then FIFA will impose its toughest sanction - to ban the Nigerian team from all competitions.
It remains to be seen whether this will be for the full 2 years.
