Nigeria’s failure to reach the 2026 FIFA World Cup has been linked to serious administrative errors and turf battles between the Nigeria Football Federation and the National Sports Commission. Fresh findings show that the protest Nigeria filed over Democratic Republic of Congo’s alleged use of ineligible players was submitted nearly two weeks late and without the mandatory 1,000 Swiss Francs fee required by FIFA.

In an exclusive interview, Mr. Johnson made it clear that his ambition is not driven by prestige, but by a desire to inject a new level of responsibility and vision into the GOC. “Looking at the impact I made in karate, I think that if even 50% of that is brought to the GOC, we will go far,” he stated. “Currently, they don't have money to push themselves.
