Wetin dey happen for this football world? After DR Congo style finish Nigeria for CAF World Cup Playoff, people come dey speculate say FIFA fit disqualify dem because of Aaron Wan-Bissaka matter. But make I burst your bubble: FIFA don clear am say na big lie! Dem senior official wen talk say, “We no get any protest or official complain from any federation.” So, no shaking for DR Congo, abeg!
As e be, DR Congo carry Nigeria run 4-3 for penalties after dem draw 1-1. E no be small thing, o! Dem don confirm dem qualification for the 2026 Intercontinental Playoff wey go happen for Mexico. But na the matter for Wan-Bissaka wey begin cause wahala.
People no sabi say Wan-Bissaka fit represent DR Congo since before the playoff. This guy don already get clearance from FIFA as far back as August 22, 2025. Na so e take settle matter before the crucial match. If you dey wonder wetin happen, Wan-Bissaka born for England but he get Congolese parents, so e don sabi wetin e dey do with di nationality change matter since 2015.
As per side gist, this guy don represent DR Congo at U20 level, and e try play for England youth teams but no make senior cap. He don sharp! E no wan miss chance to play big ball for im fatherland.
After DR Congo win, some media houses come dey run mouth say, “Ah, wetin happen? FIFA fit send dem packing!” But as FIFA don talk am clearly, no evidence dey for the protest. Dem dey suspect say Nigeria fit wan file protest, but NFF Secretary General, Sanusi Mohammed, decide to keep im mouth shut (maybe e dey wait for coach to finish make im get courage). No be small tension o!
But for wetin the FIFA official talk, e get point: Instead of dey pursue small small gossip, make football bodies focus on how to develop better coaching system and infrastructure. We supposed dey build for future, no be to dey make noise!
So, my people, no be mwen. DR Congo fit carry dey go for 2026 World Cup pathway without wahala – with Wan-Bissaka or without am. As dey say, “na who get the ball fit score!”
