He’ll still do better than Mike Dean…
The Nigeria Football Federation or NFF (we’re sure you’ve heard of it) is so riddled with bureaucracy that they’ve managed to appoint a dead referee for an upcoming match.
The late ref, Wale Akinsanya – who passed away during a mandatory FIFA Cooper Fitness Test for match officials in Ibadan – has still got the job despite being, well, dead.
The BBC reports the absurd development unfolded as part of a leadership battle between Chris Giwa and Nigerian Football Federation president Amaju Pinnick.
Chris Giwa continues to challenge Nigerian Football Federation over the choice.
