The Supreme Court has set aside the ruling of the Appeals Court on the leadership tussle of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, to return to the High Court for retrial.

The court declared Pinnick’s election illegal, and having held an alternative election in Abuja, Giwa claimed he was the rightfully elected head of Nigeria football.
