Super Eagles Coach Faces FIFA Ban Over Voodoo Comments
Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle risks a FIFA ban for alleging the use of voodoo by the opposition during the 2026 World Cup playoff final against DR Congo. Chelle's comments came after a 1-1 draw that saw DR Congo win 4-3 on penalties.
He has since apologized for his actions, with FIFA likely to impose heavy fines and touchline bans. Osasu Obayiuwana, a former member of FIFA's anti-racism task force, highlighted the severity of Chelle's actions, which could lead to him missing two-thirds of Nigeria's AFCON group games.
