FIFA to Boost Funding for NFF to $25 Million by 2030
FIFA is set to increase its annual funding for national football associations, including the cash-strapped Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), from $10 million to $25 million for the 2027-2030 period. This decision follows FIFA's commercial success linked to the expanded World Cup featuring 48 teams.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino communicated this proposal to the six confederation presidents in September, indicating a willingness to distribute more funds to member associations. The FIFA Council, the organization’s highest decision-making body, is scheduled to discuss this funding increase proposal.
If approved, it will undergo a consultation process before potential adoption in December, with final approval required at the FIFA Congress in March, coinciding with Infantino's re-election campaign.
