FIFA Arrests Corruption In NFF

FIFA Arrests Corruption In NFF

OpenLife Nigeria reports that Fédération Internationale De Football Association, FIFA, the international governing body of association of football and beach soccer, has arrested and put an end to the endemic corruption in the Nigeria Football Federation , NFF, the Nigeria’s football governing body.

The unchecked corruption, arising from unpaid allowances and bonuses to players, has been hugely responsible for Nigeria’s poor football outings and ratings both at local and international competitions.

Sensing the unethical standards, FIFA has announced its plan to pay directly into the players’ accounts of the winners of the ongoing women’s World Cup in Australia/New Zealand.

FIFA secretary-general, Fatma Samoura, confirmed this in a viral video on social media saying the policy change is due to unpaid allowance issues involving Nigeria’s Super Falcons.

Recall that Super Falcons head coach, Randy Waldrum, had earlier revealed that some players are owed “per diem and bonuses” from two years ago.

The development caused a stir and almost affected the preparation of the Nigerian players with most of them insisting on missing the training to protest their unpaid bonuses.

However, in the video, Samoura acknowledged that “things have been tough” for the Falcons.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, was formally launched in 1945 and formed the first Nigerian national football team in 1949. It joined CAF in 1959 and FIFA in 1960.
