FIFA has temporarily lifted Nigeria's suspension from international football, allowing the Nations Cup qualifier against Guinea to be played Sunday.

Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) official Musa Amadu told newsmen that the match will go ahead following FIFA's "magnanimous" decision.

The match was originally postponed indefinitely after FIFA imposed the suspension on Monday.

FIFA had said that the NFF's independence was compromised by government interference, prompting legal action by the National Association of Nigerian Footballers.

FIFA lifted the suspension until October 26 after a court hearing where the players have promised to drop their case.

No wonder people believed that FIFA is nothing but politics.
