World football-governing body, FIFA, has finally cleared Newcastle forward Shola Ameobi and Wigan striker Victor Moses to play for Nigeria.

In separate documents on the two players sent to the Nigeria Football Federation on Monday, FIFA said that both players have been cleared based on the entire documentation remitted by the NFF and the Football Association.

The statement read, "After having thoroughly examined the entire documentation remitted by the Nigerian Football Federation, the Single Judge concluded that the player Victor Moses fulfils the objective prerequisites as provided for in Article 18 Paragraph 1 of the Regulations. In particular, the player has never represented the Football Association representative team at international level.

A similar statement was made in the case of Ameobi.
