FIFA’s use of a Nigerian stadium image sparked backlash over alleged mismanagement of funds by the NFF.
Allegations resurfaced over the Nigeria Football Federation’s use of FIFA funds, following FIFA’s use of an image of the partially completed Birnin Kebbi Stadium as its social media banner.
The post sparked public backlash, with critics questioning the NFF’s accountability despite the federation’s claim that funds are project-specific and audited.
While the stadium, inaugurated in 2023, is managed by the NFF and remains in use, concerns persist over delayed projects and poor infrastructure, especially amid Nigeria’s absence from the 2025 AFCON referees’ list.
FIFA has not explained its choice of the image.
