  "summary": "The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has announced that its president, Ibrahim Gusau, has resigned, along with other board members, effective immediately. This decision was made following intense scrutiny over the federation's management of football in the country, particularly in light of the Super Falcons' failure to qualify for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup, a tournament Nigeria had previously always secured a spot in. The Super Eagles have also missed out on consecutive World Cups, failing to qualify for the 2026 edition.",
