FIFA recognises Pinnick-led NFF ----Infantino
(Nigeria) FIFA President Gianni Infantino
on Monday said the world football governing body only recognised the Amaju
Pinnick-led Nigeria Football Federation, NFF.
Infantino stated this while answering questions from State
House Correspondents after a closed door meeting with President Muhammadu
Buhari in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He dismissed the existence of a parallel NFF, saying that he
was only aware of oppositions within the NFF.
``I don’t think there is leadership crisis in the Nigeria
Football Federation. There is an elected President who was elected two years
ago. In a country like Nigeria, you face some oppositions from
some persons who are not happy with the results, but democracy has spoken.
``The Court of Arbitration, which is the Supreme Court in
football, has spoken as well. So, I think what should be done is now the
work.’’
The FIFA president, who described Nigeria as a great
footballing country, pledged that it will continue to provide it with
state-of-the-art facilities to boost the development of football.
According to him, FIFA will be looking into possibility of
providing football training centres across the country.
President of NFF, Amaju Pinnick, solicited for the support
of the media through objective reportage of the activities of the NFF.
According to him, the NFF cannot do without the media.
