The Nigeria Soccer Federation (NFF) has moved its 2026 Elective Congress by someday, with the election now set to happen on Sunday, September 27, 2026, in Lafia, Nasarawa State.
The congress was first scheduled for Saturday, September 26, and can elect members of the NFF Government Committee, who will lead the federation for the following 4 years.
The choice was accepted throughout a unprecedented Basic Meeting held just about on Wednesday after the NFF Government Committee proposed the change.
NFF President, Ibrahim Musa Gusau, stated the date was modified due to the Tremendous Eagles’ opening qualifier for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations in opposition to Madagascar.
In accordance with Gusau, after talks with CAF, the match was mounted for Friday, September 25, 2026. He defined that many candidates contesting the NFF election are anticipated to be concerned with the Tremendous Eagles, making it tough for them to journey to Lafia in time for the congress the following day.
“In view of this growth, the Government Committee thought of it essential to hunt the approval of Congress for a one-day postponement of the Elective Congress,” Gusau stated.
The proposal obtained full help throughout the digital assembly after it was moved and seconded by members of Congress, confirming Sunday, September 27, 2026, as the brand new date for the NFF Elective Congress.
