Ibrahim Gusau, the President of the Nigeria Football Federation, along with other board members, have reportedly resigned from their positions. This move comes in the wake of intense criticism over their performance in managing football in Nigeria. The decision was reportedly made due to the Super Falcons' inability to secure a spot in the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Nigeria's participation in the tournament has been consistent since the federation's establishment. The NFF board had been under significant pressure following the poor management of Nigerian football teams. The Super Eagles, the men's national team, also missed out on two consecutive World Cups, failing to qualify for the 2026 edition.
A former media officer for the national team, Colin Udoh, confirmed the resignation of Gusau and the board via X. The official statement from the Nigerian Sports Commission indicated that this was the initial step towards restructuring the NFF. Gusau and the other board members reportedly resigned.
