Super Eagles gaffer Stephen Okechukwu Keshi has received some warnings from FIFA for having thrown racist statements towards the former Malawi coach, Tom Saintfiet.
Claudio Sulser, Chairman of the Fifa Disciplinary Committee is the eye-opener on this issue relying on Article 57 of the Fifa Disciplinary Code.
"If such incidents should happen again, the Fifa Disciplinary Committee will be left with no other option than to impose sanctions against the coach Stephen Keshi," the Fifa spokesman said.
Article 57 states that: "Anyone who insults someone in way by using offensive gestures or language, or who violates the principle of fair play or whose behaviour is unsporting in any other way may be subject to sanctions in accordance with Article 10".
However, coach Tom Saintfiet did not hesitate to caution Nigerians over the danger of Ethiopia.
Keshi is expected to be back from his break this week since he will be to lead his 23-man squad to Addis Ababa on October 11 to face Ethiopia two later as part of the 2014 Brazil World Cup Playoffs first leg.
