FIFA president Gianni Infantino met with a delegation from the National Sports Commission in Zurich, Switzerland, to discuss strengthening Nigerian football structures. The meeting, which included National Sports Commission chairman Shehu Dikko, focused on institutional, governance, and development topics. Infantino emphasized the need for robust structures and youth pathways, highlighting FIFA's potential support for Nigeria's growth in football.
The reform process in Nigerian football has been prompted by the mass resignation of the Nigeria Football Federation executive committee and President Bola Tinubu's call for action to address past failures.
