FIFA boss Infantino: Pinnick remains NFF president


FIFA boss Gianni Infantino has insisted that Amaju Melvin Pinnick remains the president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) despite a Chris Giwa faction assuming leadership. A Supreme Court verdict has installed Chris Giwa as the new NFF president and he has since assumed the role despite another Federal High Court in Jos adjourning the decision till September 25. Giwa lost the case of the election to Pinnick even when he appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and his he has been serving a ban as he is not recognized by the world football body. Speaking at a press conference in Russia, Infantino stated that the rules of leadership at the NFF are stated clearly and if the country does not comply FIFA will not hesitate to ban the country.
