The world football body recently banned Congo, Pakistan, and Russia from participating in the 2026 World Cup, but they are not the first to be dealt such a blow. Here are 12 countries that have been suspended by FIFA.
In a celebratory post on their social media accounts, the Super Eagles hailed Lookman, stating, “Never doubt the King,” noting his importance to the team and his ability to perform even when the chips are down.
Lookman’s stellar display came after a tumultuous week where he faced criticism following a missed penalty in Atalanta’s Champions League loss.
Ademola Lookman proved he’s Atalanta’s star player again.
However, he responded emphatically, scoring twice and showing his skill and determination.
His first goal came just before halftime, where he deftly rounded the goalkeeper to slot home an empty netter after receiving a precise through ball from Mateo Retegui.
Man of the match, Ademola Lookman.
He added his second goal early in the second half with a powerful angled shot that left the Empoli defence scrambling.

The Super Eagles’ recognition of Lookman’s talent is a keen reminder of his significance both at the club and international level.
