BREAKING: FIFA 'taps Nigeria to host 2020 Women U-20 World Cup' - Premium Times Nigeria

Ten years after Nigeria last hosted a FIFA World Cup event, the country is set for another chance as the world football governing body seems ready to award the country the hosting right of the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup for 2020.

Sources close to FIFA has revealed to PREMIUM TIMES that officials from the world body are already planning an inspection exercise to Nigeria to ascertain if the country would be fit to host the second biggest women football event on the FIFA calendar. It was also gathered that the world football governing is planning to spend as much as $4m on the event which effectively takes off a huge chunk of the financial burden from Nigeria, if finally given the hosting rights.

But despite stepping down as CAF’s first vice president, Mr Pinnick remains a strong member of the CAF exco. He also remains a member of the organising committee for FIFA competitions.

Pls dont do this! We embarrass ourselves daily, we don't need to add FIFA to d list. Remember Asaba debacle, players sleeping on d floor in airport! Dont give us pls, we aren't ready
