Nigerian Football Federation adopts code of conduct

The Nigerian Football Federation adopts a code of conduct designed to put an end to player bonus rows, according to reports.

The Nigerian Football Federation has adopted a code of conduct designed to put an end to player bonus rows, according to reports.

The 18-page document, which has apparently been leaked to BBC Sport, spells out the obligations of the NFF, coaches and players called up to the national team.

It also makes it clear that violations could result in disciplinary action, fines, suspensions or even expulsions.

"Players and officials got a booklet each in Atlanta this week," Super Eagles media officer, Ben Alaiya, is quoted as saying.

"The NFF president (Aminu Maigari) took time explain to players and officials the importance of this code of conduct."

The footballing authorities in Nigeria are reportedly keen to avoid a repeat of the payments dispute that almost caused the Super Eagles to miss last year's FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil.
