The National Sports Commission (NSC) has cancelled the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) electoral congress earlier scheduled to take place on September 27, 2026, in Lafia, Nasarawa State.
The decision is part of moves by the sports commission to pave the way for a comprehensive reorganisation of the Nigeria Football Federation and address issues surrounding the administration of the country’s football governing body.
The cancellation means the planned NFF electoral process will no longer proceed as scheduled, as the NSC seeks to undertake a broader review and restructuring of the federation.
The development could have significant implications for the leadership and future administration of Nigerian football, particularly as stakeholders await further details on the proposed reorganisation.
The NSC is expected to provide additional information on the next steps, including how and when a new electoral process may be conducted.
The NFF is responsible for administering and developing football in Nigeria, while the latest decision by the NSC signals a major intervention in the federation’s affairs.
