Proposed NFF Normalisation Committee Deadline Set for 2027
A proposed Normalisation Committee for the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is anticipated to complete its assignment by May 31, 2027, pending approval from the FIFA Council, as reported by UK-based Nigerian journalist Osasu Obayiuwana. The proposed tenure has been submitted to FIFA for endorsement, which, if approved, would set the deadline for restoring normal football administration in Nigeria.
Confederation of African Football (CAF) President Patrice Motsepe has expressed support for this arrangement. The proposal arises amid a leadership crisis in the NFF following the resignations of former president Ibrahim Gusau, general secretary Mohammed Sanusi, and other board members.
The National Sports Commission (NSC) has backed interim administrative measures while discussions on future governance continue. FIFA and CAF officials are consulting with Nigerian football stakeholders regarding the crisis.
The Normalisation Committee is expected to address the administrative impasse, although its specific composition and powers remain unconfirmed until FIFA's official announcement.
