FIFA has completed its two-day fact-finding mission in Nigeria, during which officials met with key representatives from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the National Sports Commission (NSC). The delegation's visit followed the resignation of former NFF president Ibrahim Gusau and other members of the executive board. Gusau's departure came after criticism over Nigeria's failure to qualify for the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
Upon his resignation, Emmanuel Ikpeme took interim control of the federation. FIFA strictly prohibits external and governmental interference, leading to heightened concerns over the sudden resignation of the entire national executive committee. The delegation's meetings with the NSC, including its chairman Shehu Dikko, and the interim NFF board occurred on Monday and Tuesday, respectively.
FIFA is now set to make a decision regarding the future of Nigerian football following this investigation.
