FIFA has stirred controversy in Nigeria after using an image of the Birnin Kebbi Stadium, a FIFA/NFF-funded facility, as the new profile banner on its official social media pages.
The photo, showing the partially completed mini-stadium in Kebbi State, quickly went viral on social media, particularly X, on Saturday, sparking debate over alleged mismanagement of funds meant for grassroots football development.
The project, launched in 2020 under the FIFA Forward Programme, was jointly executed by FIFA and the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF.
