Nigeria seeks World Cup spot after alleging DR Congo play-off players lacked proper citizenship.
Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup qualification hopes have been revived after the Nigeria Football Federation filed a formal complaint with FIFA, alleging that six to nine DR Congo players used in the intercontinental play-off may not have met the country’s domestic legal requirements for dual citizenship.
The NFF claims these players failed to properly renounce prior nationalities, violating DR Congo’s constitution, despite FIFA’s initial approval based on passport possession.
FIFA is now reviewing the complaint, and if upheld, DR Congo could be disqualified, potentially allowing Nigeria to re-enter the qualification process.
The outcome could significantly alter the path to the 2026 tournament.
