Man urges FIFA to decide Nigeria petition
Legit.ng had, in a recent report, stated that FIFA had agreed on a date to deliver a judgment regarding the petition, which would determine whether Nigeria would play in the World Cup or if DR Congo would be disqualified.
While many football lovers expected FIFA to make a decision on the said date, the ruling was not delivered.
Due to this, an individual, @okohedward02, took to social media to write to FIFA over the delay in deciding the petition filed against DR Congo by Nigeria concerning the 2026 World Cup playoffs.
Sharing his displeasure over the delay, he said:
"The prolonged delay by @FIFAcom in deciding Nigeria's legitimate complaint against DR Congo's use of ineligible players is deeply disappointing and frustrating."
As he expressed his concerns, he also made a demand from FIFA.
He wants a swift and decisive ruling so that it is clear whether Nigeria will be favoured by the football association or not.

His statement read:
"Justice delayed is justice denied for the Super Eagles and fans. We demand a swift, fair ruling! #SuperEagles #FIFA #WorldCup2026."
