The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has dismissed rumors of an imminent FIFA decision on its December 2025 protest challenging DR Congo's use of ineligible players in the 2026 World Cup African playoff final. As of February 17, 2026, no ruling has been issued, despite online speculation.
FIFA's Appeal Committee has rejected the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) appeal, upholding sanctions against the federation and seven naturalized players for using falsified documents. The players, who featured in a 4-0 win over Vietnam in June, face 12-month bans starting September 26, 2025. FAM plans to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
