BERNE (Reuters) - Nigeria have been given until Friday to sort out a legal quagmire involving the country's football federation (NFF) in what FIFA described as a "last opportunity to avoid a lengthy suspension".

FIFA said that if a federal court order, which has declared recent NFF elections to be null and void, is not withdrawn by then, Nigeria will be suspended from international football at least until the end of May.
