Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa has called for significant reforms in Nigerian football.
Musa’s comments came during the FIFA Club World Cup, where the absence of Nigerian clubs has once again raised questions about the state of domestic football and the competitiveness of the NPFL.
Softfootball gathered that the experienced forward believes urgent action is needed to improve the structure and development of Nigerian football.
Nigeria has a long history of producing talented players, but concerns about domestic infrastructure, administration, facilities and youth development continue to generate debate.
Musa believes improvements are necessary if Nigerian clubs are to compete more effectively against leading teams from other African countries and eventually reach major international competitions.
The Super Eagles captain has remained an influential voice in Nigerian football and has repeatedly shown interest in the development of the sport beyond the national team.
His latest comments are likely to generate further discussion among supporters, administrators and other stakeholders.
Improving the domestic league could also create a stronger pathway for young Nigerian players before they move abroad.
Musa’s call highlights the need for long-term planning and investment in the development of Nigerian football.
