Fifa's selectuve interference: Nigeria must call the bluff - Blueprint Newspapers Limited (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The argument that President Bola Tinubu or the National Sports Commission cannot touch the leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation because “FIFA will sanction Nigeria” sounds legally neat, but it is not the whole story. It is, in fact, an argument that risks turning FIFA’s cherished principle of non-interference into a shield for institutional failure. Let us ask the uncomfortable question: what exactly does FIFA mean by “interference,” and when does that principle suddenly become sacred?
Akure's stench: When government can smell politics but cannot smell danger - Blueprint Newspapers Limited (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A capital city is choking while those paid to protect it appear to be looking elsewhere And, unfortunately, it is not only the smell. I recently watched a video by a woman who made what appeared to be a straightforward, non-partisan appeal to Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa. She has had some political association with the Governor, which makes her intervention even more difficult to dismiss as the usual opposition noise.

FIFA’s red card summersault, Cape Verde’s lesson, and Egypt’s Argentine challenge - Blueprint Newspapers Limited (opens the original)

Read excerpt
The group stage rewarded consistency. The Round of 16 rewards precision. From this point onward, every tactical adjustment, substitution, defensive lapse, and psychological decision carries greater weight than individual brilliance. Teams no longer have the luxury of recovering from mistakes over three group matches. One poor decision can end four years of preparation. The opening knockout fixtures have already reinforced that reality. Morocco has once again demonstrated why it remains Africa’s
From Morocco to Senegal, others: A World Cup of hope, the 86th-minute jinx & dashed dreams - Blueprint Newspapers Limited (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If this World Cup has taught Africa anything, it is that football can be gloriously generous one moment and heartbreakingly cruel the next. As the knockout rounds unfold, one African flag still flies proudly. Morocco stands tall, focused, and determined, carrying not only the hopes of its own people but increasingly those of an entire continent. Their discipline, resilience, and composure have once again demonstrated that African football belongs among the world’s elite. Behind Morocco’s inspiri
