The President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Ibrahim Gusau, has stepped down from his position. He announced his decision during a press conference held in Abuja on Thursday, August 27, 2026. Gusau’s resignation occurs amid increasing criticism of Nigeria’s football administration following a string of disappointing performances by the national teams.
These developments come after both the Super Eagles and the Super Falcons reportedly failed to secure qualification for the World Cup. Gusau’s departure is likely to spark further discussions regarding the leadership and future direction of Nigerian football, especially with ongoing calls for reforms in the country’s football administration.
More details about his resignation, including his reasons and the next steps for NFF leadership, are anticipated to surface soon.
