FIFA and CAF Assess NFF Leadership Crisis in Abuja
FIFA and CAF have initiated an assessment of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) leadership crisis, which began on Monday in Abuja. The meeting involved FIFA and CAF officials, National Sports Commission chairman Shehu Dikko, and members of the NFF’s federating units.
Key figures in the delegation include Ahmed Harraz, Rolf Tanner, El Hadj Wack Diop, and Nnaemeka Olu. The assessment follows the mass resignation of NFF president Ibrahim Gusau, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi, and other board members on August 27, amid criticism of the national teams' performances.
The evaluation will cover the NFF statutes, electoral processes, governance restructuring, and a new timetable for an elective congress. Discussions will also address the Nigerian government's involvement in the NFF.
FIFA has stated that no decisions will be made until the assessment is complete, emphasizing the need to understand the circumstances surrounding the crisis and the views of stakeholders.
