CAF have confirmed that there will be no suspension for Nigeria, and that the match pitting the Super Eagles against South Africa in Cape Town will go ahead.
The dark cloud hanging over the nff was officially lifted on Tuesday September 9 after CAF tweeted, “#nigeria will not be suspended by FIFA, #AFCON qualifier against @Bafana_Bafana1 on.”
CAF confirmed on their website that in a letter dated 9th September 2014, addressed to the President of the NFF, Aminu Maigari, the Secretary General of FIFA, Jerome Valcke noted the return to normalcy in the nff and compliance with conditions prescribed by the Emergency Committee of FIFA of September 3.
“The nff is accordingly not suspended.”
However, the letter was accompanied by recommendations, including the need for the urgent holding of an Executive Committee and a General Assembly of the nff to define and adopt the roadmap for NFF elections as soon as possible.
FIFA further cautioned that should the electoral process be affected by any interference, the case would be referred again to the appropriate FIFA bodies for immediate suspension of the NFF until the next FIFA Congress.
