Soccer Laduma reported previously that FIFA suspended FECOFOOT due to governance irregularities linked to the election of a management body that did not meet FIFA's regulations.
The suspension was linked to an ad hoc committee that was established to take control of FECOFOOT, and meant all FECOFOOT-affiliated clubs and the national team were barred from all CAF competitions.
FIFA released a statement and said the ban, which was implemented on 6 February 2025, was lifted on 14 May 2025.
"The decision was taken after the conditions requested by the Bureau to lift the suspension of FECOFOOT had been met, including the return of full control of the FECOFOOT headquarters, the Ignié Technical Centre, and the association’s other facilities to the FECOFOOT Executive Committee led by Jean-Guy Blaise Mayolas and his administration," FIFA said.

The suspension meant the Congo national team missed out on the chance to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and was disqualified from the 2025 U17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), according to Pan-Africa Football.
