 Fifa issues deadline to Nigeria

Zurich, 02 July-(ANA)-Fifa will expel Nigeria from world football unless the country's government overturns a two-year ban of the national team by Monday .

Fifa has written to Nigeria president Goodluck Jonathan asking him to reverse his decision to suspend the team after a poor performance at the World Cup.

Nigeria's House of Representatives has also passed a resolution asking Jonathan to reverse his order in fear of sanctions.

Fifa rules prohibit any government intervention with its members.

Jonathan's government announced on Wednesday that the Nigeria Football Federation will be dissolved and an interim board put in place. (ANA)
