Checkout The $1.2m Stadium That Causes Stir, Built By The NFF Posted By FIFA (pics)

FIFA updated its X profile header to feature a basic $1.2 million mini-stadium in Kebbi State, built by Nigeria’s Football Federation (NFF) with FIFA funds, sparking widespread mockery online for its underwhelming appearance amid corruption allegations.

The stadium, inaugurated in 2023 as part of a $10 million FIFA grant awarded in 2020 for Nigerian football development, has drawn criticism for apparent fund misappropriation, highlighted recently by a viral TikTok exposé.

Nigerian social media users view the header change as FIFA’s subtle jab at NFF accountability issues, amplifying calls to disband the federation’s board and fueling debates on sports governance transparency.

Meanwhile, NFF has denied allegations of fund mismanagement, stating that all funds from FIFA and CAF are tied to specific projects.

The recent development has been met with netizens sharing their thoughts and opinions.

However, details surrounding the NFF’s recent decision remain unclear.
