Sakho was ruled out of the tournament in Equatorial Guinea with a back injury, but came off the bench to score for West Ham in their FA Cup fourth-round win over Bristol City on January 25.
West Ham have maintained that they followed the correct procedures, but Sakho was left out of their squad for Saturday's 0-2 loss at Liverpool in the Premier League.
"We can confirm, that disciplinary proceedings were initiated against the player Diafra Sakho (SEN) and the club West Ham United for a potential violation of the FIFA Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players," FIFA said in a statement.
If FIFA's case is proven, Sakho could face a suspension and West Ham a fine.
