NPFL Champions, Enugu Rangers, suffered a 3-0 defeat to MC Alger in Algeria on Friday to crash out of the 2026-27 CAF Champions League.

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has assured the Confederation of African Football that the state is fully prepared to host the 2026 CAF Awards on December 7.

Nigeria has stepped up preparations to host the 2026 Confederation of African Football (CAF) Ordinary General Assembly and CAF Awards, with National Sports Commission Chairman Shehu Dikko engaging the continental body’s leadership on arrangements for the two events.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) continues to express confidence in the project, insisting that there is no plan to postpone or relocate AFCON 2027. Yet the tone surrounding preparations has become increasingly urgent.

The joint assessment mission, which began on Monday, September 14, brings FIFA and CAF officials into discussions with Nigerian football stakeholders following a wave of resignations that has left the NFF facing questions over its leadership structure, governance and electoral process.

The two governing bodies are also preparing to send a joint delegation to Abuja as they seek to establish what happened, following the mass resignation of senior NFF officials and determine the appropriate next steps.
