FIFA Explains Why Nigerian Fans Were Banned From Taking Musical Instruments Into Stadium
Category: Sports News
The world football governing body FIFA, has
explained why it banned the Nigeria Football Supporters Club, from
taking their musical instruments into stadiums, saying the decision was
made by local security authorities.
Although the Nigerian supporters have graced
every FIFA tournament since the World Cup in 1994 with their drums and
other musical instruments, they have been prevented from doing so in
Brazil.
“The fans cannot enter the Fifa World Cup arenas with musical instruments of any kind,” a FIFA spokesperson told KickOffNigeria.
The objects allowed in the stadium are regulated by the Code of Conduct in the Fifa World Cup Stadia, published on FIFA’s website.
“This manual developed by security staff regulates items allowed or forbidden inside the stadiums.
“It´s important to note that it was not a FIFA decision, but a decision from the local security authorities.”
