The committee said it found no evidence that individual players exercised undue influence over team selection or the technical decisions of the Super Falcons.
A fact-finding committee set up by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to investigate Nigeria’s poor performances in international football has identified administrative weaknesses, camp-management problems, inadequate regulation, poor player-development structures and insufficient technological investment as some of the major challenges undermining the country’s football fortunes.
The committee, chaired by Ambassador Fanny I. Amun, specifically examined the Super Falcons’ performance at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco, where Nigeria failed to retain the title and subsequently missed qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
The six-member committee comprised Amun as chairman, Alex Mana, former Super Falcons forward Desire Oparanozie, coach Ladan Bosso, former Super Eagles midfielder Mutiu Adepoju, and Nasiru Jibril as secretary.
According to the report dated August 21, 2026, and obtained by SaharaReporters on August 26, the committee was mandated to “unravel the root causes of Nigeria's dismal showing in international football competitions” in recent years, with particular attention to the Super Falcons’ campaign in Morocco.
