FIFA has launched an investigation into claims that several players representing DR Congo may have switched nationalities without fully adhering to the country’s legal requirements or FIFA’s eligibility regulations.
The probe comes amid growing scrutiny over the players’ qualification status and whether proper procedures were followed in the nationality changes. FIFA’s findings could have serious implications for DR Congo’s participation in the upcoming World Cup.
Nigeria, currently set to face DR Congo in the qualification process, is closely monitoring the situation, as the outcome of FIFA’s investigation could influence the team’s progression and match scheduling.
At this stage, no official verdict has been announced, and all parties await FIFA’s final decision, which is expected to clarify the eligibility of the disputed players.
