FIFA has temporarily lifted
Nigeria's suspension from
international football,
allowing the Nations Cup
qualifier against Guinea to
be played Sunday.
Nigeria Football Federation
(NFF) official Musa Amadu
told newsmen that the match
will go ahead following
FIFA's "magnanimous"
decision.
The match was originally
postponed indefinitely after
FIFA imposed the suspension
on Monday.
FIFA had said that the NFF's
independence was
compromised by government
interference, prompting
legal action by the National
Association of Nigerian
Footballers.
FIFA lifted the suspension
until October 26 after a court
hearing where the players
have promised to drop their
case.
