Fifa Queries Nigeria Federation Over Lesbian Ban
Published: March 07, 2013
Football's regulators, Fifa has made a request to the Nigeria Football Federation to clarify statements credited to Chairman of the Nigeria Women Football League, Dilichukwu Onyedinma, who has banned lesbians from representing the national teams.
''Any player that we find is associated with it will be disqualified.
"We will call the club chairmen to control their players and such players will not be able to play for the national team.
"It (lesbianism) is happening, but we have to talk to the clubs and look inside the clubs and these things have to do with clubs,''Onyedinma said.
The statements of Dilichukwu Onyedinma are inconsistent with the anti-discriminatory policy of Fifa.
