The President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Ibrahim Gusau, alongside other top federation officials, will enjoy free accommodation and a daily allowance of $100 during the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

According to information obtained by WinWin, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has approved comprehensive welfare packages for senior officials of its member associations attending the tournament. 

Under the arrangement, the President of each member association, including NFF President Gusau, will be provided with complimentary accommodation throughout the duration of the competition, in addition to a daily allowance of $100. 

The same benefits will also extend to honorary presidents and secretaries general of member associations.

This means the NFF Secretary General, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, will equally receive free lodging and the stipulated daily allowance while in Morocco.

The gesture forms part of CAF’s standard administrative support for participating federations, aimed at easing logistical and financial burdens on national football bodies during its flagship tournament.

The Africa Cup of Nations is scheduled to be hosted by Morocco, with football administrators, players, and fans from across the continent expected to converge on the North African nation for the competition.
