Nigeria's football authorities remain hopeful for a favorable ruling from FIFA on a petition challenging DR Congo's eligibility in the 2026 World Cup intercontinental playoffs, despite the Congolese team being listed among participants. The dispute stems from Nigeria's penalty shootout loss to DR Congo in November 2025, with allegations of six ineligible players fielded by the opponents. While officials urge calm, critics and fans express skepticism over the prolonged silence from FIFA.
