Nigerian Football Chief Resigns Over Corruption
Ibrahim Musa Gusau resigned as the President of the Nigerian Football Federation amid allegations of corruption and mismanagement, amid deteriorating performance of the national men's and women's teams. This resignation comes a month before the upcoming elections, as the federation faces investigations into the use of $12.7 million of government funds allocated for the national team, following protests from players and officials regarding unpaid salaries. Additionally, the women's team failed to qualify for the 2027 World Cup for the first time since the tournament's inception in 1991, while the men's team also missed out on qualification for both the 2022 and 2026 World Cups, reflecting a decline in the federation's financial stability and competitive results.
