Update concerning the situation of the Nigeria Football Federation

(FIFA.com) 20 Aug 2018

Following the decision of the Bureau of the FIFA Council of 13 August 2018 concerning the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), FIFA received confirmations that the legitimate leadership of the NFF under President Amaju Melvin Pinnick and General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi has been given back effective control of the NFF and its offices.

In view of these circumstances, FIFA deems that the conditions set by the decision of the Bureau of the FIFA Council have now been met and consequently the suspension of the NFF will not take effect.

FIFA will continue to closely monitor the situation in order to ensure that FIFA’s rules and regulations are fully adhered to.

FIFA (in English) is the Federation of International Football Associations.

Basically, the country Nigeria is not a member of FIFA, rather, it is the NFF (that is, the Nigerian football association) that is a member of FIFA. This is why FIFA refused to meet with Dalung.


The federating associations often meet to make rules that govern FIFA and member associations.


In the late 1990s the federations decided that government interference in the internal affairs of member associations should no longer be tolerated. FIFA also decided that sporting disputes and disputes within their member associations should be referred to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) that was set up by the International Olympic Committee or any other such truly independent courts of arbitration for sports, rather than the civil courts.

For these greedy old men to b scambling over the control of NFF, it simply implies that NFF is a silent juicy glass house full of gold.

But since we have not been banned (which I would have preferred anyways) , Does that solve the greedy interest of the actors in this case and how will this stop the nonsense court cases from repeating itself going forward?

Salient points.

Thank God oo, Otherwise the innocent(Like Enyimba who won their match and qualified yesterday, Even Nigerian Referees) would have suffered if Nigeria was banned.

Dalung is d worst thing that has ever happened to Nigerian Sport...always clueless...he was trying to use Federal Might to muscle Amaju to pave way for his kinsman to takeover d Glass House...What was he trying to go and do in Zurich before; to convince FIFA that someone who's banned for 5 years by FIFA is d rightful owner of d seat after about 5 years? lol

He doesn't even know that Pinnick played active roles in Ahmad Ahmad and Gianni Infantino's emergence as CAF and FIFA Presidents respectively...Amaju is their guy, nothing that can stop him...little wonder he's bn recognised and given appointments by d 2 bodies.

But to be candid sha, this FIFA rule is absolute thrash...how can u say d various Govts should not have a say in a sport they sponsor with d State's money...so if the Govt of a country budgets and gives their FA about N100billion in a calendar year and d person in d helms of affair in d FA along with his cronies embezzles half of it, d Govt has no power to question how its money was spent? It is crazy.

Why is FIFA not banning NFF after DSS invaded the glass house to reinstate Amaju? Isn't that Government interference. This is double standard for Christ sake! Isn't this decree 101 in disguise and supported by FIFA?Abeg! Let's call a spade-a-spade though Giwa too is gready and self centered.
