A coalition of passionate football supporters known as Reform Our Football has declared its intention to stage a nationwide protest starting this week in Abuja. The group is calling for urgent and comprehensive reforms in the leadership and administration of the Nigeria Football Federation, citing persistent issues that continue to hinder the growth and success of Nigerian football at both domestic and international levels.

According to the coalition, the current state of affairs within the NFF has led to repeated disappointments for fans, players, and stakeholders alike. They argue that without immediate changes in governance, transparency, and accountability, the federation risks further decline in performance and public trust. The protest aims to amplify the voices of ordinary supporters who feel marginalized in decisions affecting the beautiful game in the country.

The planned demonstrations will begin in the federal capital, Abuja, before spreading to other major cities across Nigeria. Organizers have emphasized that the action is peaceful yet firm, designed to pressure authorities into addressing long-standing concerns such as poor administration, lack of grassroots development, inadequate welfare for players, and questionable selection processes for national teams. They believe these issues have collectively contributed to Nigeria’s underwhelming results in recent competitions.

Supporters and football enthusiasts nationwide are being urged to join the movement as it gains momentum. The coalition maintains that meaningful reform is essential not only for restoring glory to Nigerian football but also for building a sustainable structure that can compete favorably on the global stage. As the protest dates approach, all eyes remain on the NFF and relevant government bodies to see how they respond to these growing demands from the football community.
