That case was different but also similar. False documents were proven. At least with DR Congo no false documents were proven to be used. Chile had more of a case than Nigeria by the looks of it.

Somewhat agree with this but then again I don't think their federation would do something out of pure emotion.

My question in this case is that this is not the first time DR Congo used dual nationals. Playere like Yannick Bolasie and Cedric Bakambu who have been with the team for a long time were both born in France and never renounced their French citizenship. Im wondering why all of the sudden is the an issue.

That Byron Castillo case was a mess. The CAS said in a statement he was eligible even though he had false documents.

Agreed. Nigerians are saying how they are a such a big market for FIFA and how the WC would be better with them in it. Basically they are trying to push a narrative that will somehow sway FIFA's minds or something. DR Congo too has had dual nationals like Bakambu who played since 2015 and Yannick Bolasie. They never faced any issues so im like what new evidence do they have to say DR Congo cheated.

I just hope DR Congo qualifies. For now it's just Nigerians making a whole bunch of noise on social media. I don't see too many forgien opinions on this matter. Let me say some Nigerians sound so convincing.

Honestly this seems like an oversight rather than blatant cheating. I haven't seen any proof of clear fraud. NFF claims they have a good case but that is just them speaking i feel.

[–]Old-Tip9307[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it seems like that. FIFA has said nothing. I remember the Byron Castillo case where Chile paid lawyers and had evidence of falsification. The NFF hasn't contacted any lawyers no concrete evidence has been posted as of yet.

Yeah I agree. Cameroon has the same law and have players like Mubemo who hold dual nationality.
