FIFA Denies Mpasi Eligibility Problem as Jamaica Says It Will Write to FIFA

| World Cup 2026

FIFA said there were no eligibility issues in DR Congo's play-off against Jamaica or at the World Cup, and that its Disciplinary Committee dismissed Nigeria's complaint as inadmissible (decision notified in early March 2026), with Infantino having no role. Jamaica's federation president said he would write to FIFA over the matter; reports say Nigeria and Jamaica are weighing compensation claims, though no filing is confirmed.
