In a surprising development that could potentially reshape international football, the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) has dropped hints that it may back Saudi Arabia’s bid to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup.
This was contained in a statement that appeared on Nigeria’s football body’s official website while congratulating the Government and people of the Kingdom of Morocco over Wednesday’s decision by FIFA that the North African country will co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup finals with Spain and Portugal.
The NFF president Ibrahim Gusau said the NFF will be throwing its weight behind the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s bid to stage the 2034 finals – four years after the expected spectacle in Morocco, Spain and Portugal.
