- The New York Times reports FIFA’s legal department concluded before the 2026 World Cup that Mpasi was ineligible.
- DR Congo first defeated Nigeria 5–4 on penalties, then Jamaica 1–0; Mpasi played in both playoff matches.
- Documents reportedly showed Congo’s federation lacked paperwork for Mpasi’s switch; he had previously made twelve youth appearances for France.
- Nigeria’s entire football board resigned after missing qualification, while President Ibrahim Musa Gusau called for an investigation.
They have simply kept silent, and they cannot tell anyone, because they know this will lead to a major crisis for them— Ibrahim Musa Gusau, president of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), commented on FIFA's handling of Nigeria's complaint and the Mpasi eligibility issue.
