The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the nation was sanctioned by WAFF, the international body of amputee football for non-payment of its 2013 affiliation fee.

He explained that the payment of the affiliation fee was due in January 2014, adding that it was a pre-requisite for participation in the World Cup, organised by WAFF.
Anusa, said that the body would ensure that subsequent affiliation fees to the world body would be paid promptly to avoid any form of sanction.
