The city of Asaba has come alive again as the 2024 Annual General Assembly of the Nigeria Football Federation is taking place, with all delegates having arrived in the Delta State capital by Thursday evening.
The NFF Annual General Assembly is the biggest gathering of football administrators and stakeholders in the country each year. It serves as a melting pot for the interplay of ideas and the eventual formulation of policies, rules, and regulations that govern the administration and organization of the game nationally for the succeeding year.
The plenary welcomes chairpersons and secretaries of Football Associations from the 36 states and the FCT, chairpersons and secretaries of the Nigeria Premier Football League, Nigeria National League, Nigeria Women’s Football League, and Nationwide League One, as well as chairpersons and secretaries of the referees’ association, players’ union, and coaches’ association. This group constitutes the Congress.
Members of the NFF Executive Committee and Management will be in attendance, with former NFF Presidents and General Secretaries also welcomed.
The Minister of Sports Development, Senator John Owan Enoh, is the special guest, while Nigeria’s member of the esteemed FIFA Council, Amaju Melvin Pinnick, will also be present, along with a representative of the West African Football Union (WAFU B) to witness the proceedings.
The Executive Governor of Delta State, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Francis Oborevwori, will declare the General Assembly open. Several chieftains of the Delta State Government and other dignitaries, alongside observers and representatives of the media, will witness the opening ceremony.
The venue is the Unity Hall of the Delta State Government House.
