The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has pledged to support the growth of the Nigerian football industry.
NFF President Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau made this announcement while opening a one-day seminar for match commissioners in the Nigeria National League, Nigeria Women Football League, and NationWide League One on match commissioning and the difficulties of match reporting.
Alhaji Gusau was represented by Alhaji Inuwa Ahlan, Chairman of the Kano State Football Association.
Alhaji Gusau claimed that in order to strengthen the league, the seminar was created in order to increase the match commissioners’ understanding of the game, as they are responsible for making sure that club officials and match officials follow the rules.
He declared that the three leagues would keep evolving and that the NFF was prepared to collaborate with private industry and stakeholders to improve the calibre of play.
In order to increase the leagues’ appeal, the NFF President stated that the organisation was also attempting to engage league sponsors.
Hundreds of match commissioners attended the one-day seminar, which also included top football managers guiding the commissioners through the basics of match commissioning and reporting.
The event’s host, Chief Ken Nwaomucha, the immediate past chairman of the Delta State Football Association, praised the participants for their hard work and encouraged them to apply the knowledge they had learnt, stating that the boards of the NNL, NWFL, and NLO were diligently working to make the league more competitive.
The 224/25 NNL season is anticipated to begin before the end of next month.
Alhaji Danladi and other speakers urged the players to always follow the regulations of the game because they were crucial to the league’s growth.
