 Pinnick Misses FIFA Council Re-Election by One Vote


Former Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president, Amaju Pinnick, has lost his bid for re-election to the FIFA Council, falling short by just a single vote.


At the Confederation of African Football (CAF) General Assembly held in Cairo on Wednesday, Djibouti’s Souleiman Waberi claimed the final available seat with 29 votes, narrowly edging out Pinnick, who secured 28.


Morocco’s Fouzi Lekjaa led the election with 49 votes, while Egypt’s Hani Rida and Niger’s Djibrilla Hamidou each garnered 35 votes. Mauritania’s Ahmed Yahya and Waberi also secured their positions with 29 votes apiece.


The loss is a setback for Pinnick, who has been a member of FIFA’s top decision-making body since 2021 and was seeking another term.


In the women’s category, Kanizat Ibrahim of Comoros won the seat with 30 votes, defeating Lydia Nsekera (13 votes) and Isha Johansen (7 votes).
