Man shares DR Congo’s possible action
Legit.ng, in a recent post, mentioned that FIFA was going to make an announcement and gave a specific date for a decision regarding the petition filed against DR Congo by Nigeria.
Several days after the report, FIFA is yet to decide, and in the meantime, a man, @emmanuelvlog1, has explained what might happen or what DR Congo might do if FIFA favors Nigeria in the eligibility dispute case.
In a TikTok video, @emmanuelvlog1 explained that DR Congo might not accept FIFA’s decision if the ruling goes in favor of Nigeria, and he shared why.
His statement:
"What will happen if FIFA rules in favor of Nigeria and against DR Congo? Simple, DR Congo will go to CAS, the Court of Arbitration for Sport."
"There was a case where FIFA ruled against Malaysia, and Malaysia took the matter to CAS. So yes, it will be a victory for Nigeria, but it will not end there."
He added that aside from FIFA, there’s another body, and if the decision of FIFA doesn’t favor DR Congo, this body will be approached by the team in pursuit of justice.

Man predicts DR Congo’s next move
He continued:
"DR Congo will explore the last option, which is CAS. CAS handles disputes not just in football, but in sports generally. So, whether it’s FIFA, CAF, or any other body, if there’s a dispute involving a country, club, or player, the last resort is CAS, they give the final judgment."
"Just like in countries you have a Supreme Court, if they rule against DR Congo, they will proceed to CAS."
At the time of writing this report, FIFA has yet to make an official statement regarding the petition or announce a date when a judgment will be delivered to determine the fate of Nigeria or the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
