Homosexuality which is against the Nigerian Law has led the Nigeria Women Football League chair and executive member of the Nigerian Football Federation, Dilichukwu Onyedinma also officially banned lesbianism from Nigerian Football.
Onyedinma was quoted by Nigerian media saying: “Any player that we find is associated with it [lesbianism] 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 is happening but we have to talk to the clubs and look inside the clubs, and these things have to do with clubs.
“There are particular clubs that don’t even want to hear about it and once they heard it the players involved will be sacked.”
However, FIFA has claimed that the Nigerian law and declaration of lesbianism is against the FIFA anti-discrimination policies and it is understood the world football governing body has sent a letter to the Nigerian Football Association asking for clarification.
