#COA & advisors knew that #FIFA will never take third party involvement lightly but still they took the risk & kept on going against #FIFA.

#FIFA will never allow any federation to give players voting rights, If they do so then in future players might ask for voting rights for #FIFA elections.
It's naive from COA and others who thought they can give players voting rights just like that.

FIFA will give #AIFF another chance to get house in order before giving #FIFAU17WC to backup host.
When I spoke to people about backup hosts they told me it's joke but seems like FIFA was not joking.

President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated the Golden Eaglets of Nigeria for a fantastic beginning in the group opening match of FIFA World Cup Brazil 2019. #FIFAU17WC
Nigeria Under-17 football team opened Brazil 2019 with a 4-2 win over Hungary, signaling their readiness to win the FIFA Championship for an unprecedented sixth time.
In a message to the team after the spectacular performance on Saturday night, President Buhari praised the boys for the determination to excel which they displayed throughout the match despite the brilliant performance of their opponents.
To correct a misconception: #Nigeria has not yet qualified for the #FIFAU17WC. Still need a point from the final game. #U17AFCON
There is a scenario in which 3 teams can still finish on 6 pts, in which case results against Tanzania will be discounted. Only the results in matches between the three tied teams will be used.
*If* that scenario plays out (Nigeria lose to Uganda, Angola beat Tanzania)...
*If* that scenario plays out (Nigeria lose to Uganda, Angola beat Tanzania)...
...then even on the first decider, all 3 teams will have 3 pts from matches against each other. Goal difference between the 3 teams will then come into effect, and since Nigeria (hypothetically) would've lost to Uganda...
