FIFA to rule Feb. 16 on Nigeria’s protest over DR Congo players’ eligibility in a 2025 World Cup qualifier.
FIFA is set to rule on February 16, 2026, on Nigeria’s protest alleging that six players from the Democratic Republic of the Congo were ineligible in a November 2025 World Cup qualifier, which DR Congo won on penalties.
Nigeria claims the players violated FIFA’s nationality rules, potentially undermining the match’s validity.
A favorable decision could grant Nigeria a spot in the intercontinental play-offs for the 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
The outcome hinges on FIFA’s review of evidence submitted by the Nigeria Football Federation.
