The two-day maiden FIFA club management workshop has began in Abuja on Tuesday with Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, NFF president calling on the participants to immerse themselves in all the segments of the program in order to improve their understanding towards improving football in the country, Nigeriasoccernet.com writes.

“The Nigeria Football Federation has been intentional in impressing it on the Clubs that they must work hard towards financial sustainability, and generally contribute to making the football ecosystem better for all stakeholders to be proud of the industry.

“This workshop will go a long way in getting the message across in more profound manner, that the leagues and club football are the lifeblood of a nation’s sport, and that significant contributions to the Gross Domestic Product of our country can only happen through the activities and the gravitas that the leagues and clubs are able to establish to generate direct, indirect and induced income", as delivered by the NFF General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi (MON).

He also implored the participants to be ready to implement the knowledge that they stand to gain in the two-day workshop for the good of the nation’s game.

The sessions on Tuesday focused on strategic planning and finance. Wednesday’s sessions will be on governance and commercial and marketing.
