This week, reports claimed that FIFA had found Congo DR goalkeeper, Lionel Mpasi ineligible three months before the 2026 World Cup. It was discovered that Mpasi had not completed the process of switching his international allegiance from France where he had represented the youth teams. FIFA reportedly became aware of this in March but took no action against Congo DR. "'Absurd' is the first word that came to mind," Ope Adebari, a sports analyst, reporter and producer with News Central, told DAILY POST. "Did FIFA really not sanction an ineligible player and his team despite the evidence staring them in the face? "It's very difficult to process and come to terms with. Further clarity is needed regarding this debacle." The Leopards went on to defeat Jamaica in the intercontinental play-off and featured in the World Cup, reaching the round of 32, where Mpasi played in their defeat to England. Nigeria had missed out on the intercontinental play-off after losing to Congo DR in the African play-off final in November. Afterwards, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) lodged a complaint with the world football governing body, alleging that Congo DR had fielded between six and nine ineligible players. The petition was dismissed on a technicality. "Certain reports say Nigeria sent the appeal to the wrong email, while verified sources confirm that FIFA failed to sanction DR Congo despite the evidence it had. "I think both parties can be blamed," Adebari said. However, even with this fresh twist to the saga, did the Super Eagles truly deserve to be at the World Cup?…
