[h=1]Nigeria suspended from international football by Fifa[/h]
Nigeria have been suspended from all international football by Fifa amid allegations of government interference in its football federation.
The ban means no Nigerian team - including club sides - can play internationally.
Fifa had given the Nigerian government until Tuesday to reinstate the sacked Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) executive committee.
In a statement, Fifa - world football's governing body - said the suspension will be lifted once the "properly elected NFF executive committee, the NFF general assembly and the NFF administration are able to work without any interference in their affairs".
