NFF First Vice President, Felix Anyansi-Agwu, told The Guardian he is not aware of such bid by Nigeria, adding, “In fact, I am just hearing this information for the first time. “I don’t think such arrangement is in progress.

I don’t know anything about the AFCON bid.” NFF President, Ibrahim Gusau and the Federation’s Media Director, Ademola Olajire, refused to comment on the project, with both ignoring calls and text messages sent to them by The Guardian.

According to the report, Nigeria and Benin Republic’s joint bid is one of the proposals for the 2025 AFCON before CAF. The report quoted a top official of the NFF as saying: “Having completed all the processes, we submitted our bid before the Confederation of African Football (CAF) deadline of December 16.”It added that the NFF said it would throw more light on the bid in coming weeks.
