Nigeria’s FIFA Case Against DR Congo “Very Tight” – NSC Chairman Shehu Dikko

The Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Shehu Dikko, has expressed strong confidence in Nigeria’s case before FIFA concerning the eligibility of certain Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) players in the World Cup qualifiers.

Speaking on Friday during an appearance on Arise Television’s Morning Show, Dikko described Nigeria’s position as solid and well-founded, insisting that the case being reviewed by FIFA is “very tight.”

“Our case is very tight, we’re not sore losers, this is part of the law,” NSC chairman Shehu Dikko told Arise TV.

“There are suspicions that somethings have not been done right in accordance with the laws of the game.

“They have probably misrepresented their position to FIFA to obtain those clearances

“Just two days ago, FIFA have ruled against Malaysia on the same issue because they procured the passports of their players illegally and now they have forfeited all the matches they have played with those players.”
