Gusau's Leadership Yields Progress in Nigerian Football
Ibrahim Gusau's tenure as the head of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has seen notable progress in Nigerian football, warranting consideration for continuity in leadership. Under his administration, the Super Falcons won the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, marking Nigeria's 10th title.
The Super Eagles achieved silver at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and bronze in 2025. The Super Falcons also performed commendably at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, remaining unbeaten in regulation time until a penalty shootout loss in the round of 16.
Additionally, the Flamingos secured bronze at the 2022 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, and the Flying Eagles reached the quarter-finals of the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup. The NFF has also focused on referee training and infrastructure development, including a new players’ hostel and training pitches funded through FIFA Forward 3.0.
The domestic leagues have shown improved organization, which is essential for the future of Nigerian football.
