Nigeria-The Nigeria Football Federation has planned to spend about five billion naira next year.

This was disclosed by a top official who is member of the NFF congress and Bayelsa Football Association chairman, Lucky Gospel Ewa.

The budget of the NFF in the outgoing year was 1.2 billion naira with the bulk of this sum covering the country’s participation in the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.

Mr. Ewa said the budget has increased because the body has major engagements in 2014, one of which is the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
