Nigeria has extended the contract of Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle, granting him additional responsibilities to oversee the country's Under-23 team, known as the Olympic Eagles. This decision was made during a meeting between the National Sports Commission (NSC) and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in Abuja.

The Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) champions for the 2026/2027 season will be awarded a minimum prize money of ₦1 billion, marking it as the highest financial reward in Nigerian domestic football, according to Vanguard Sports.

Hon. Sani Ahmed Toro, a former Secretary General of the Nigeria Football Association, has urged Nigerian football stakeholders to exert pressure on the National Sports Commission and the Nigeria Football Federation to implement the newly announced prize money and salary structure in the Nigeria Premier Football League. This call comes in light of recent developments regarding financial incentives in the league.

Amaju Pinnick has sparked discussion regarding his role in Nigerian football after a recent appearance on Arise TV, where he addressed the ongoing FIFA World Cup and the absence of Nigeria's Super Eagles. The conversation has raised questions about his position and leadership within the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), particularly as many believe he should be stepping down from his role.

FCT FA chairman Adam Mohammed has expressed appreciation for the N1 billion prize money for the NPFL but emphasized that meaningful and lasting change in Nigerian football necessitates broader structural reforms, according to Punch.

Ekiti United is preparing to announce Jacob Vandi as their new head coach for the upcoming 2026-27 Nigeria National League season. He will replace Idris Bolarinwa, who departed the club after leading Ekiti United to a third-place finish in NNL Conference B last season, according to Daily Post (NG).
