Some Super Eagles players
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has been sanctioned by the
Federation of International Football Association's Disciplinary
Committee for fielding an ineligible player in the match between Algeria
and Nigeria on 10 November 2017.
The match is declared to be forfeited and awarded 3-0 in favour of
Algeria. The NFF was also ordered to pay CHF 6,000 (N2,176,308) over the
incident.
According to FIFA, the sanction relates to the player Abdullahi
Shehu failing to serve the automatic one-match suspension imposed on him
as a result of receiving a caution in two separate matches of the same
competition.
This sanction bears no impact on the final result of the
preliminary competition for the FIFA World Cup since Nigeria had already
qualified (and Algeria eliminated) before the match took place.
