The National Sports Commission (NSC) announces that it
is set to approve the official Flag Football Federation for Nigeria, with
elections for new executive members scheduled to follow immediately upon
completion of the federation’s inauguration.
The Commission hereby clarifies that no association or
body, whether national or international, has been recognized to represent
Nigeria in any international flag football competition.
The NSC further emphasizes that no group or
association holds official recognition to act on behalf of Nigeria.
In line with its statutory responsibility, the NSC
hereby reiterates that only the National Sports Commission is empowered under
Nigerian law to recognize, approve, and regulate any sports federation,
including those related to flag football.
Speaking on the ongoing process, the Director General
of the National Sports Commission said:
“The National Sports Commission is currently engaging
all stakeholders in Flag Football regarding the finalization of a unified
national federation.”
“NSC values the contributions of all groups and is
committed to an inclusive governance structure that aligns with international
standards and Nigeria’s sports development objectives.”
“The process of recognition is ongoing and no decision
has been finalized.”
The NSC reassures all athletes, coaches,
organizations, and international partners that the forthcoming Flag Football
Federation will be built on transparency, inclusiveness, and global best
practices, ensuring that Nigeria is properly represented in international
competitions.
The Commission will release further details on the
election timetable, membership requirements, and transitional arrangements in
the coming days
