As a result of the FIFA sanctions meted out to the country, the president of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick has apologised to Nigerians and football lovers.
FIFA had rejected Nigeria’s defence on the use of an ineligible player during the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Algeria in Constantine on Friday, 10th November 2017, thus awarding the match to Algeria.
However, FIFA said the sanction does not in any way hurt Nigeria’s qualification for the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals, as the Super Eagles had picked the ticket from Group B ahead of the clash in Constantine.
The NFF boss via his twitter handle:@PinnickAmaju tendered his apology and took full responsibility of the NFF’s actions.
