FIFA Club Management Program begins in Abuja

Posted : 04 June 2025

The much-anticipated FIFA Club Management Program has begun in Abuja, as officials of the world football governing body, FIFA, arrived in Nigeria to oversee a two-day workshop for chairmen and chief operating officers of Nigeria’s football leagues and premier league clubs. The event is taking place at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel.

 

The workshop aims to critically examine the management models of Nigerian football clubs and leagues, with the objective of opening new perspectives on proper governance, improving commercial viability, and broadening the worldview of administrators to drive their teams toward real growth and sustainability.

 

A total of 40 participants from the 20 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) clubs (Chairman and CEO of each club), along with the Chairmen and Chief Executive Officers of the NPFL, Nigeria National League (NNL), Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL), and Nigeria Nationwide League One (NLO), are in attendance.

 

President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, is leading a small delegation from the Federation, accompanied by NFF 2nd Vice President Hon. Gbenga Elegbeleye and General Secretary Dr. Mohammed Sanusi.

 

FIFA’s delegation is led by El Hadji Wack Diop, Head of the FIFA Regional Office for West and Central Africa, and includes Rasoamahenina Sanda Manonisoa, Marcos Piccalo, Federico Perez, Javier Sobrino, and Laurent Colette.

 

Colette is a former Managing Director of French top club Olympique de Marseille, while Sobrino is a former Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer of Spain’s leading club, FC Barcelona.

 

Each of the 20 NPFL clubs is expected to submit a document outlining a clear pathway to financial autonomy, leveraging the history and assets of the clubs to grow them into global brands.

 

The sessions will cover strategic planning, finance, commercial and marketing strategies, and governance.
