NFF to Receive $1m Annually as CAF Restructures National Team Competitions

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is set to receive $1 million annually following the restructuring of senior national team competitions by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).

CAF president Dr Patrice Motsepe confirmed the development as part of a broad reform agenda that includes the introduction of the African Nations League and a $1 billion commercial tender aimed at boosting revenue and strengthening football development across the continent.

Under the new financial framework, each of CAF’s 54 member associations, including Nigeria, will benefit from the increased funding—a major jump from the $200,000 previously allocated to national federations.

Motsepe explained that the initiative is designed to improve financial stability and enhance football development at national level.

“The restructuring of the CAF senior national team competitions and the USD 1 billion tender that we have initiated will enable CAF to contribute USD 1 million every year to each of the 54 CAF member associations,” he said.

The funding boost is expected to significantly support grassroots development, national team programmes, infrastructure, and administrative capacity within African football federations, with the NFF poised to benefit from the expanded investment.
