FIFA yet to clear Ademola Lookman to play for Nigeria- NFF
The Nigeria Football Federation has stated categorically that Ademola Lookman of Leicester City FC OF England has not yet been cleared by World Football body, FIFA to represent Nigeria at International level.
NFF says that was why Lookman failed to make the Super Eagles’ squad for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations set to kick off on January 9 in Cameroon.
The football federation says the process for his switch is ongoing.
“It is therefore incorrect for any medium to claim that interim Head Coach Austin Eguavoen is the one who axed the player from Nigeria’s final list of 28 for the Africa Cup of Nations Cameroon 2021.
However, his name was included in the initial provisional list with the belief that the process would have been completed before the commencement of Afcon,” NFF said.
