President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), AMAJU PINNICK, has been declared eligible for membership of the FIFA Council.

The Chairman of the FIFA Review Committee, MUKUL MUDGAL, informed PINNICK of his eligibility for the position in a letter.

PINNICK had disclosed his intention to vie for membership of the FIFA Council, which is the highest decision-making body in world football, back in November 2020. 

With his eligibility confirmed, the NFF President is inching closer to his plan of claiming one of the two positions on the Council for the CAF Anglophone group.
