Nigeria face new Fifa ban over controversial election

Nigeria face new Fifa ban over election rigging

Nigeria face a Fifa ban that would rule them out of next year's Africa Cup of Nations following a high court decision on recent football elections.

The Jos High Court annulled the 30 September election of Amaju Pinnick as Nigeria Football Federation president.


Nigeria have been banned twice for government interference in the NFF and Fifa warned another incident would result in a ban until May 2015.

The Nations Cup is scheduled to take place from 17 January to 8 February.

It means Nigeria - should they qualify for next year's finals - would lose their place at the tournament if Fifa acts over the latest development in the crisis affecting Nigerian football.

Confederation of African Football (Caf) president Issa Hayatou had a meeting with Nigerian officials in Windhoek, Namibia on Saturday ahead of the final of the African Women's Championships that saw the Super Falcons defeat Cameroon.
