FIFA has appointed a normalisation committee to oversee the affairs of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) until May 31, 2027, at the latest.
The world football governing body announced the decision on Thursday following a meeting of the Bureau of the FIFA Council.
“Appointment of a normalisation committee for the Nigeria Football Federation until 31 May 2027 at the latest,” FIFA stated.
The decision follows the resignation of former NFF president Ibrahim Musa Gusau, General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi and members of the executive committee in August amid widespread criticism of the country’s football administration.
