Fixing Nigerian Football from the Ground Up | Nigeria News

Nigerian football’s decline stems from ignoring the fundamentals, says administrator Yemi Idowu—no amount of cash can fix a broken system. He demands a grassroots-to-national overhaul, criticizing the absurdity of national youth teams without proper local competitions. The recent NFF board resignation, he notes, isn’t failure but a chance for reform—with past leaders needed to ensure stability. His vision? Separate local and international governance, build talent through merit-based regional qualifiers, and create cost-effective, skill-driven tournaments that crown true champions—not political favorites.
