Norwegian Football Federation Asks FIFA to Probe Trump Peace Prize

The Norwegian Football Federation (NFF) has asked FIFA's ethics committee to investigate the world football governing body's award of a peace prize to US President Donald Trump, arguing that the decision breached FIFA's political neutrality rules. The NFF announced on Tuesday that it formally requested the ethics committee to look into the circumstances surrounding the award, which was given to Trump during the World Cup 2026 draw in Washington D.C. on December 6, 2025. The NFF President Lise Klaveness said the decision broke FIFA's rules on political neutrality as Trump is a sitting political leader. "We do not think it's part of FIFA's mandate to give such a prize. We think we have a Nobel Institute that does that job independently already," Klaveness stated during a roundtable discussion with international media. "We think it's important for football federations, confederations, and […]

2026 World Cup Why Nigeria Absence Could Change African Buzz

Nigeria will not be at the 2026 FIFA World Cup for the second consecutive time and this absence could significantly change how Africa is viewed at the tournament. The Super Eagles failed to qualify after a painful penalty shootout loss to the Democratic Republic of the Congo which ended Nigeria's World Cup dream. This marks the first time since Nigeria's debut in 1994 that the country will miss back-to-back World Cups. Nigeria's absence creates a sporting and symbolic void that will be noticed at the tournament in the United States Mexico and Canada. The Super Eagles are known for their physical dominance and ability to rise in high-pressure situations which will be missed. The failure to qualify is also a major financial blow. Nigeria lost a guaranteed $10.5 million in FIFA prize money and preparation funds. The Nigeria Football Federation […]

NFF steps up pursuit of Newcastle’s Osula for Eagles

The Nigeria Football Federation has intensified efforts to convince Newcastle United forward William Osula to switch his international allegiance from Denmark to the Super Eagles. The 22 year old, who joined Newcastle from Sheffield United, has enjoyed a surge in form in recent weeks after a slow start to the season, highlighted by a decisive goal against Manchester United that boosted his profile in the Premier League. Osula, who has Nigerian roots and has endeared himself to local fans with a viral clip of him cooking Ogbono soup while playfully mocking opponents, remains eligible to represent multiple countries.

Super Eagles unhappy as NFF withholds Turkey appearance fees

Super Eagles players have expressed disappointment after the Nigeria Football Federation failed to pay their agreed appearance fees for the recent friendly matches against Iran and Jordan in Antalya, Turkey.

Atletico Madrid unhappy with NFF over Lookman’s workload

Atletico Madrid are reportedly unhappy with the Nigeria Football Federation over the heavy workload given to winger Ademola Lookman during the recent international break. The Spanish club is concerned that the forward played the full 180 minutes across Nigeria’s two friendly matches against Iran and Jordan. Reports from Spanish outlet AS say Atletico had been carefully managing Lookman’s minutes since his move to the club, with coach Diego Simeone rarely allowing him to complete full games in La Liga, the Copa del Rey or the UEFA Champions League. In most starts, the most he has played for Atletico is around 73 minutes. However, during the Super Eagles’ friendlies, Lookman played 89 minutes in the 2 1 win over Iran and then completed the entire 2 2 draw against Jordan in Antalya, Turkey. Atletico view this as excessive, especially as the […]
