The ban means no Nigerian team - including club sides - can play internationally.

FIFA have set a July 15 deadline to resolve the problem.

It was the world governing body's response to a court order which compelled the Nigerian Minister of Sports to appoint a senior member of the civil service to take over the running of the Nigeria Football Federation.

Nigeria's government ousted the football federation leadership and arrested its president Aminu Maigari, right, after he returned from Brazil last week.
