A fact-finding committee set up by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to investigate the Super Falcons’ disastrous 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) failure has exposed a troubling web of allegations involving cash-for-players, interference by NFF Board members, officials’ intrusion into team camps, unequal payment of players and administrators, and wider governance failures within the Nigerian women's football club.
The committee’s report, dated August 21, 2026, was specifically mandated to unravel the root causes of Nigeria’s poor performances in international football competitions, with particular attention to the Super Falcons’ failure to retain the WAFCON title and subsequent failure to qualify for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
The panel was chaired by Ambassador Fanny I. Amun, with Alex Mana, former Super Falcons star Desire Oparanozie, coach Ladan Bosso and former Super Eagles midfielder Mutiu Adepoju serving as members. Nasiru Jibril served as secretary.
