FIFA Suspends Cristiano Ronaldo’s Remaining Two-Match Ban

DOHA, QATAR — FIFA has suspended the remaining two-match ban imposed on football icon Cristiano Ronaldo, clearing the veteran forward to return to competitive action with immediate effect.

The Decision

The sanction, which was originally scheduled to be served during a major international tournament, has now been set aside following a review by football’s global governing body. FIFA’s move effectively overturns its earlier ruling and restores Ronaldo’s eligibility across all competitions.

While full details of the decision are yet to be formally published, sources familiar with the matter describe the suspension of the ban as an administrative resolution rather than a complete exoneration.

Reaction and Implications

The development has sparked debate across the global football community, with critics questioning the consistency of disciplinary enforcement, while supporters argue the decision ensures competitive balance and allows one of the sport’s most influential figures to remain active on the pitch.

Ronaldo, widely regarded as one of the greatest players of his generation, is now free to feature immediately for club and country.

Super Eagles Update

In related international football news, the Super Eagles of Nigeria have officially opened camp in Morocco as preparations intensify for the final phase of training ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). Key players have begun arriving, signaling full readiness for the continental tournament.

This story will be updated as more details emerge.

Has the Nigerian Constitution Been Suspended? A Call for Answers In every inaugural oath of office in Nigeria, leaders stand before the people and God, swearing to defend the Constitution and uphold justice, fairness, and equality. Yet, time and again, those oaths are violated with no accountability. One is left to ask: has the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria been suspended? Today, I write not just as a concerned Nigerian, youth empowerment advocate, but as a voice calling upon Ibom Air, the Airline Operators of Nigeria, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigeria Immigration Service, the Nigeria Air Force, and every security apparatus in our airports, alongside the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to explain why these violations persist unchecked. A Case in Point: The Ordeal of Ms. Emmason On the 10th of August, 2025, a young Nigerian woman in her twenties, Ms. Emmason, was subjected to treatment that shocks the...

  Nigeria stands at a critical juncture, grappling with an endemic system crisis that permeates the very fabric of our society.
