FIFA lifts Nigeria suspension

accreditation

NFF Acting General Secretary Musa Amadu told KickOffNigeria.com that a letter to that effect was received by the federation on Friday afternoon. It means the Super Eagles will honour their 2012 African Nations Cup fixture against Guinea in Conakry on Sunday. 

"The FIFA Emergency Committee decided today, 8 October 2010, to provisionally lift the suspension of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

"The decision was taken after observing that the situation had taken a positive turn in recent days, with the claimant at the origin of the court actions publicly committing itself to withdrawing its claim, the acting General Secretary of the NFF returning to his post on 5 October 2010 and the issue of the Nigeria League being left totally within the ambit of the NFF.

"The suspension has been lifted provisionally until 26 October 2010, after noting that the next hearing before the court is scheduled for 25 October 2010 and that only then can the judge vacate the court orders.
