According to Pius Asaba, a member of the Amputee Football Federation for Africa (AFFA), the World Amputee Football Federation (WAFF) has suspended Nigeria from participating in its activities.
Asaba told the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Thursday in Lagos that the Nigeria Amputee Football Federation (NAFF) was suspended because the country did not pay its annual affiliation fee since 2013.
He said that the sanction had denied the country’s national amputee football team from participating in the 2014 Amputee Football World Cup, scheduled to hold in Mexico from November 30 to December 10.
“We have been sanctioned by the world body, and the implication is that our national team will no longer be allowed participation in the World Cup, organised by WAFF.
