FIFA have today lifted Nigeria's international football ban.
Earlier this month, the country were told no team, including domestic club sides, both male and female, would be able to play internationally.
This had threatened the participation of Nigeria's Women's Under-20 in next month's World Cup in Canada as well as the Super Eagles' African Cup of Nations defence, which starts in September.
The ban came in the wake of government intervention in its football federation when a court order compelled the Nigerian Minister of Sports to appoint a civil service member to run the country's Football Federation.
At the time, FIFA confirmed the suspension would be lifted "once the court actions have been withdrawn and the properly elected NFF Executive Committee, the NFF general assembly and the NFF administration are able to work without any interference in their affairs."
And today the governing body has noted this has been done and decided to lift the suspension.
A statement read: "FIFA has lifted the suspension that was imposed on the Nigeria Football Federation on account of interference.
"Fifa has noted that the court proceedings and order preventing the president of the NFF, the NFF Executive Committee members and the NFF Congress from running the affairs of Nigerian football that prompted the suspension have been withdrawn."
