Nigeria's players form a huddle after a 2-0 defeat to France sent the African champions packing from Brazil 2014.
FIFA has suspended Nigeria from international football citing government interference in the running of its national federation.
The emergency committee
of the world governing body said the blanket ban would come into to
place with "immediate effect" which means no Nigerian team, including
club sides, can play in regional, continental or international
competitions.
In the wake of Nigeria's
exit to France at the last 16 of the World Cup, the high court of the
West African country ruled that its federation would cease to run the
national team, handing over the role to a government civil servant.
This is in breach of a
FIFA rules that obliges member associations to manage their own affairs
"independently and with no influence from third parties," it said in a
statement.
