The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is set to re-introduce
the code of conduct for Super Eagles and Super Falcons players.
A source at the football house in Abuja disclosed on Friday
that the NFF would mandate its legal department to produce a document that
would set standards for the players’ conduct while on national assignments
without infringing on their rights.
The code of conduct had operated in the past but was later
abandoned by subsequent administrations.
According to the source, however, recent developments in the
male and female senior national teams bordering on indiscipline have
necessitated the re-introduction of the code.
“The code will outline how players’ complaints and
grievances are to be addressed and resolved while setting standards for the
conduct of players, coaches and officials, especially when on international
assignments. It is a global practice which the players are used to it in their
clubs and many national teams also have such guidelines in place,” the source
said.
“All players (both men and women) called for any
international competition will be sent the document along with their invitation
letters which they will be advised to screen with their lawyers or
representatives before honouring the calls. It is meant to enforce discipline
and adherence to the rules.”
