• Bangladesh Football Federation banned him in September 2021 and alerted FIFA of their decision before they upheld it
• The 30-year-old Christopher Chizoba was born in Lagos and started his career on the streets before moving to India

FIFA chiefs have granted the request of the Bangladesh Football Federation for the two-year ban of Nigerian football Christopher Chizoba after being accused of going against his contract.

The Nigerian player who did not play for any club in his country's local League is being punished for an alleged breach of contractual agreements.

Bangladesh Football Federation actually placed a ban on Chizoba on 26 September 2021 and also submitted the case to the world's football governing body.

And according to the report on Sporting Life, FIFA chiefs have approved the ban on the Nigerian player which means that he can't play football anywhere in the world until September 2023.
