NFF Approves N17.6 Billion Budget For 2025 Season Activities

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has allocated N17.6 billion for its 2025 season activities, following approval from its Congress, which convened in Asaba, Delta State, on Friday.

According to sportsvillagesquare.com, this budget equivalent to $10,591,610 at the current exchange rate surpasses the N12 billion allocated by Nigeria for the 2024 Paris Olympics, where no medals were won, and the Paralympic Games, where Team Nigeria secured a total of nine medals, including five golds.

EDITOR’S PICKS

The NFF’s 2025 program includes six remaining qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, the Morocco 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, and the African Nations Championship (CHAN), scheduled for December and February—provided the Super Eagles and CHAN Eagles qualify.

In addition to approving the budget, the Congress praised the efforts of Nigeria’s national teams, particularly the Super Eagles for winning silver at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, and the Super Falcons for returning to the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament after 16 years.
