FIFA President arrives Nigeria

FIFA President Gianni Infantino, alongside Secretary General Fatma Samoura, on Sunday arrived Abuja on a planned two-day visit.

Both football governing body officials were received by the President of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, as well as several members of the Federation’s Executive Committee and management staff.

Infantino and Samoura were treated to a brief display by a cultural troupe on arrival at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, before a session of photographs with the NFF members.

The FIFA team will be treated to a welcome cocktail at the Transcorp Hilton later in the evening.

Infantino is visiting only Abuja, according to the itinerary released by the NFF on Friday. He will pay a courtesy call on President Muhammadu Buhari at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa on Monday.

Also on Monday, Infantino and Samoura are scheduled to be guests at an under-13 exhibition football match at the Abuja National Stadium.

They are to later attend a corporate dinner with a legion of Nigerian political heavyweights and captains of industry at the Transcorp Hilton.

The FIFA President will return to Switzerland on Monday night, while the Secretary General will depart Nigeria on Tuesday.
