FIFA set deadline for Nigeria & Ghana Football Federations

Football governing body FIFA has given August 20th & 27th deadlines on banning Nigeria and Ghana football federations over government interference.

Nigerian football politics took a new dimension last Monday, when Chris Giwa resumed at the offices of the Nigeria Football Federation in Abuja, as the president of the football body.
Ghana’s problems stem from a corruption scandal engulfing suspended Ghana Football Association (GFA) federation boss Kwesi Nyantaki.

FIFA, in a statement by its Media Office, said it had been notified about ongoings in the two federations, and it viewed them as “undue interference in their affairs’’
Nigeria will face the wrath of the world football’s governing body unless “the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) offices are handed back to the legitimate NFF executive committee under President Amaju Pinnick”, a Fifa statement warned.
FIFA are on the warpath after the country's Attorney General ordered the GFA to be dissolved.

"If the petition to start the liquidation process of the GFA is not withdrawn" by August 27 the association "will be suspended with immediate effect", FIFA said.

FIFA statutes dictate that member states should "manage their affairs independently with no influence from third parties".
The long-running dispute over who is in charge of the NFF dates back to 2014
