NFF Sacks Super Falcons Coach, Madugu, Other Technical Crew Members

- On Monday, the Nigeria Football Federation dismissed head coach Justine Madugu and his technical crew with immediate effect following the Super Falcons' failure to qualify for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup.
- Nigeria's World Cup hopes ended last Thursday after a 2-1 loss to South Africa in the intercontinental playoff, ending the Super Falcons' record of qualifying for every tournament since 1991.
- NFF President Ibrahim Gusau inaugurated a six-member fact-finding committee on Monday, chaired by Fanny Amun, to investigate national team failures and submit findings within two weeks.
- National Sports Commission officials are considering a plan to replace the NFF administration with a three-month normalization committee, which would require FIFA involvement and approval under Article 8.2.
- Although no official announcement has been made, a senior National Sports Commission source confirmed on Monday that the government is exploring this plan, potentially halting NFF elections scheduled for September 27 in Nasarawa State.
