Amaju Pinnick Loses FIFA Council Re-Election by Single Vote
Former Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president Amaju Pinnick has fallen short in his bid for re-election to the FIFA Council, missing out by a single vote.
At the Confederation of African Football (CAF) General Assembly 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 topped 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 spots with 29 votes apiece.
The result marks a significant setback for Pinnick, who had been a member of FIFA’s highest decision-making body since 2021 and was seeking to extend his tenure.
In the women’s category, Comoros’ Kanizat Ibrahim emerged victorious with 30 votes, finishing ahead of Lydia Nsekera (13 votes) and Isha Johansen (7 votes).
