Chelsea's Mikel John Obi has been indefinitely suspended from representing Nigeria after pulling out of a recent African Nations Cup qualifier.
The 20-year-old, who moved to Stamford Bridge a year ago, pulled out of the African Nations Cup qualifier against Uganda three weeks ago citing a hamstring injury.
NFA spokesman Ademola Olajire said on the BBC's website: "Mikel's gross act of indiscipline and lack of commitment towards national call-ups is totally unacceptable.
"Since Mikel prefers his club over his country, we can only wish him the best of luck."
He has also not responded to recent calls to play for the country's under-23 side.
"The fact that both coaches do not need him in their squads means his continuous invitation to the national teams is of no relevance," added Olajire.
"The national coach said before the game against Niger that Mikel did not show any sign of commitment that he wanted to play so he left him out.
"The national under-23 coach Samson Siasia also says he does not need Mikel in his squad since he preferred to play for Chelsea rather than Nigeria.
"Siasia is embarrassed that Mikel, who played under him at the FIFA World Youth Championship two years ago, is being disrespectful and disinterested in playing for his country."
