Oyo Monarch Oba Odeniran Seeks NFF Board Position

Oba James Oluyemi Odeniran, the Chairman of the Oyo State Football Association, has announced his intention to contest for the South-West slot on the Board of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). His campaign aims to bring a fresh perspective and stronger representation to football in the region.

With a background as an ex-FIFA badged referee and extensive experience in football administration, Oba Odeniran seeks to address the demands for improved grassroots development and better opportunities for young talents. He emphasizes the need for accountability, inclusion, and collective interest in football governance.

His vision includes repositioning the South-West as a significant football bloc that can contribute meaningfully to Nigerian football. Odeniran believes that the region's football resources can be better coordinated to create opportunities for players, coaches, referees, and clubs.

His approach focuses on collaboration among football associations and stakeholders to restore the South-West's historical influence in Nigerian football.
