World football governing body, FIFA, has handed Nigeria “a last opportunity” until Friday mid-day local time (1pm CAT) to avoid immediate suspension from international competitions and activities in the sport.
The African champions could face a seven-month suspension if the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) executive committee presided over by Amaju Pinnick, sacked by a Federal High Court ruling last Thursday week, continues to have its activities interfered with.
FIFA in response to a letter from the NFF, stated that “interference (in the activities of the football federation) has not ceased” alluding to the use of security operatives to stop Pinnick from travelling to Namibia for the African Women Championship (AWC) final between Nigeria and Cameroon.
