I Am Humbled By FIFA Appointment — NFF President

President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, says he is humbled by his appointment on Thursday, as a member of the FIFA U-20 World Cup Organizing Committee.

Nigeria recorded a major milestone in football, when the federation received a letter from world football body, FIFA, dated August 14, 2015 and signed by its Secretary General, Jerome Valcke.

The letter, addressed to Pinnick, read, “We are very pleased to inform you that you have been appointed as a member of the Organizing Committee for the FIFA U-20 World Cup. Please accept our sincere congratulations on this nomination.

“We wish you success and enjoyment in this role at FIFA and look forward to welcoming you soon in Zurich.” The 2017 U-20 World Cup will be staged in Korea Republic.
