“The new statutes represent a critical evolution for our game. This framework ensures that football governance in Nigeria is not only transparent but also expansive enough to capture the interests of all stakeholders, from the grassroots to the professional elite,” Fanawopo said.
The association also expressed appreciation to global and continental football governing bodies, FIFA and Confederation of African Football, for their technical support and guidance throughout the consultative process, noting that their involvement ensures alignment with international best practices.
As Nigerian football begins a new phase under the revised statutes, the Osun FA called on state associations, clubs, and other stakeholders to fully embrace and implement the provisions.
The body added that strict adherence to the new regulations, alongside unity and collective commitment, would position Nigerian football on a path to sustained progress and greater achievements.
