The Nigeria Football Federation has officially rejected claims that it urged FIFA President Gianni Infantino to vacate his position. The governing body issued this response to dismiss circulating speculation suggesting they were among the organizations seeking his departure.
In a public statement, the NFF labeled the rumors appearing on social media as completely false, explicitly requesting that the public ignore such misinformation. They affirmed that they have not requested, nor are they currently seeking, the resignation of Infantino.
This clarification arrives during a period of uncertainty for the FIFA leader, who is facing pressure following a controversial proposal to sell World Cup commercial stakes to private investors. Furthermore, UEFA has indicated it may boycott the 2030 tournament should Infantino remain in his role.
