Four-man CAF, FIFA Team in Abuja over Nigeria Football Crisis

A four-man team from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and FIFA have arrived in Abuja to address the ongoing football crisis in Nigeria. The team is expected to meet with leaders from the National Sports Commission (NSC) and the Interim heads of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). The visit comes in response to the recent departure of Ibrahim Gusau and his board members from the NFF board, following pressure from stakeholders.

The crisis has been exacerbated by Nigeria's recent poor performances in international competitions, prompting calls for reforms to the governing body's statutes. A Normalisation Committee is anticipated to be established, paving the way for a new election to elect the NFF's leadership.
