NFF Denies Calling for FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s Resignation

NFF Denies Calling for FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s Resignation

The Nigeria Football Federation has denied social-media claims that it asked FIFA President Gianni Infantino to resign. In a statement, the NFF described the claim as an outright falsehood. It said it has never called, and is not calling, for Infantino to step down. The federation urged football stakeholders and the public to disregard the reports. The clarification comes as Infantino faces wider scrutiny from some international football stakeholders over FIFA’s direction.
