DR Congo FA Director Responds to Nigeria's FIFA Petition Over World Cup Controversy

The DR Congo FA Director, Herita Ilunga, reacted to Nigeria's petition to FIFA over the eligibility of players in the World Cup qualifiers. Nigeria's Football Federation (NFF) raised concerns about multiple ineligible players from DR Congo.

The dispute arose after DR Congo defeated Nigeria in the African playoff final. The NFF argued that DR Congo's constitution prohibits dual nationality, calling for the expulsion of allegedly ineligible players.

FIFA is expected to investigate the matter further.
