Normalisation Committee: Recommended Members Fail FIFA Integrity Test

The announcement of the committee tasked with reorganising Nigerian football has been delayed because several proposed members failed FIFA’s integrity test. The Nigeria Football Federation said on October 22 that FIFA had approved the committee, whose members will be appointed jointly by FIFA and CAF following the resignation of the executive committee led by Ibrahim Gusau. A source said the committee will have between seven and nine members and may include as many as two non-Nigerians. A former NFF general secretary and a former influential executive committee member are lobbying to lead it, and the committee is expected to conclude its work by May 31, 2027.
