Nigeria Football Federation top dignitaries, including Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau (MON), Dr. Sanusi Mohammed (MON), graced the just concluded FIFA Executive Football Summit 2025 held in Miami, Florida, a platform for dialogue and exchange between FIFA Member Associations (MAs) and the FIFA leadership, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The summit brought together the FIFA leadership, Confederation officials, and chieftains of FIFA’s Member Associations to engage in strategic discussions on FIFA competitions, women’s football, and development programmes at the heart of the expanded FIFA Club World Cup Championship.
FIFA President also spoke of the importance of investing in places where children can play football, not forgetting the FIFA Forward Programme under which every MA receives up to USD 8 million during the third cycle of the programme to invest in operational costs and tailor-made development projects such as infrastructure or organising competitions.
The inaugural Summit brought together representatives from 68 Member Associations and featured a keynote address by FIFA Secretary General Mattias Grafström. Attendees also engaged in a panel discussion that included 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup champion Heather O’Reilly and football legend Ronaldo.
In addition, four breakout sessions provided participants with the opportunity to explore a variety of strategic topics, including FIFA women’s and youth football competitions, the FIFA Series, the FIFA Forward programme, and other key FIFA initiatives. Two more Summits are scheduled to take place in the coming days, accommodating the remaining Member Associations.
