    NFF sets up fact-finding committee on Nigeria’s football set-backs

    The Nigeria Football Federation has set up a fact-finding committee to look into the unwholesome poor run of the country’s National Teams in international competitions, with specific attention to the Super Falcons’ failure to qualify for next year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup finals.

    Ten-time champions and holders of the Women Africa Cup of Nations, the Super Falcons were booted out of the ongoing 14th edition of the competition in Morocco at the quarter-final stage, and then fell 1-2 to South Africa in a playoff to enter into the Inter-Confederations Playoffs scheduled for later this year.

    It means that Nigeria, hitherto the supreme power of African women football, will not be at the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup finals to be staged in Brazil, after being a fixture at every edition since the competition was launched in 1991.

    Former NFF General Secretary, Ambassador Fanny Amun, MON heads the committee that also has former Nigeria U20 tactician and president of the Nigeria Football Coaches Association, Coach Ladan Bosso; former Super Falcons’ captain, multiple Women AFCON winner and FIFA World Cup star Desire Oparanozie; former Super Eagles’ captain, AFCON winner and FIFA World Cup star Mutiu Adepoju and; former FIFA referee, Dr. Alex Mana.

    Chairman of the Sokoto State Football Association, Mallam Mohammed Nasiru Sa’idu, will serve as secretary.
