NFF Announces Fines for Clubs, Sanctions Gombe United, Wikki Tourist and Kwara United
The Nigeria Football Federation has announced that clubs that fail to honour matches in the national preliminaries of the President Federation Cup will be fined N1 million.
The directive was made known by the NFF Director of Competitions, Ruth David, in a statement released on Monday.
According to the statement, the state preliminary matches of the competition will take place between March 22 and April 26, 2026. Clubs that fail to appear for a match after completing registration at the state level will be fined N500,000.
The NFF also said the final matches of the state competitions must be played on April 25 or April 26, after which each state Football Association and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) will submit two representatives for the national stage of the competition.
Meanwhile, the NFF Disciplinary Committee has announced several decisions following protests from clubs in the Nigeria National League and the Nigeria Premier Football League.
In the case involving Gombe United and Jigawa Golden Stars, the committee found that Gombe United fans entered the field during the match and pressured the referee to change a goal kick decision to a penalty.
As a result, Gombe United were fined N1 million for pitch encroachment. The centre referee, Terwase Chia, was suspended for the rest of the season for professional misconduct. Jigawa Golden Stars were also fined N500,000 for refusing to continue the match in protest. The match result was confirmed as 0–0.
In another case, the committee ruled on a protest involving Wikki Tourist and Katsina United.
The committee found that Wikki Tourist failed to provide adequate security, which allowed unauthorised persons into restricted areas. Supporters of the club were also found to have thrown dangerous objects onto the pitch.
Wikki Tourist were fined N2 million for poor security, N1 million for unsporting conduct, and another N1 million for throwing dangerous objects. The club was also ordered to play five home matches away from Bauchi as part of the punishment.
In a separate decision involving Kwara United and Rivers United, the committee ruled that Kwara United failed to control their supporters, which led to harassment and injuries to match officials and players.
The club was fined N2 million for failing to provide proper security, N1 million for the behaviour of their supporters, and N2 million as compensation for damages and treatment of injured officials.
The committee also deducted three points and three goals from Kwara United’s total and ordered the club to play five home matches away from Ilorin.
The NFF stated that all the decisions are subject to the right of appeal.

What Omar Marmoush did to offer Man City new threat without Erling Haaland
Manchester City striker Omar Marmoush was the match winner on Saturday night as they beat Newcastle 3-1 in the FA Cup
Pep Guardiola could not hide his delight on Saturday night as Manchester City progressed to the FA Cup quarter finals. Despite going behind early on to Newcastle, City rallied and were deserving winners.
After the game, Eddie Howe insisted the Blues were on their way back to their best. A huge compliment, particularly as City were without their talisman. Erling Haaland was rightly rested and Omar Marmoush replaced him.
The Egypt international repaid Guardiola’s faith with a match-winning brace that earned him praise from the boss. “He’s a top striker and the finishing, especially our second goal and our third is his biggest quality. He has to improve in small spaces and his first control but he deserved it.”
The unfortunate thing for Marmoush is he will almost certainly lose his place to Haaland on Wednesday night for the trip to Real Madrid. The Norwegian was rested specifically with the Champions League in mind.
Get involved in our City WhatsApp group by clicking HERE. You can also join our City Facebook page by clicking HERE and don’t miss out on our brilliant selection of newsletters HERE.
However, that does not mean Marmoush’s efforts were in vain. MEN Sport has looked at the 27-year-old’s performance at St James’ Park and spotted three ways he can offer City a different threat without Haaland.
Pressing
Haaland is an exceptional athlete but there are some things City sacrifice to have a goalscorer of his quality on the pitch. One of those can be pressing from the front. Guardiola once said he loved it when Haaland ‘presses like an animal,’ and while that is in his repertoire, it is not a constant in his game.
What was impressive about Marmoush was how quickly he closed down the Newcastle defence throughout the match. In the second half, he did exceptionally to win the ball from Malick Thiaw to spark an opportunity for Jeremy Doku to cross.
Finding pockets
Considering how good he is, it is no surprise Haaland sees scoring goals as ‘easy’. In a recent interview, the striker admitted he was inspired by Leicester City icon Jamie Vardy when he was growing up.
Vardy, much like Haaland, loves to play off the last man and use his pace to score. This is a trait Haaland adopted and nobody can argue with its effectiveness.
Interestingly, Marmoush showed for his second and City’s third, how he can offer something entirely different. Instead of looking for Matheus Nunes to play the through ball, the striker held back to allow himself a pocket of space on the edge of the box to fire past Aaron Ramsdale.
It was a smart decision as Newcastle’s defenders frantically regathered their shape. He still had a lot to do, but that difference to Haaland can give opposition teams a major headache.
Invisible man
When a centre-back sees he will be coming up against Haaland, they know instantly he will be their sole focus. As we saw at the Etihad against Newcastle last month, Dan Burn’s job was to effectively wrestle with Haaland and stop him from scoring.
It worked but opened up space for other players and, ultimately, City won. Haaland plays a selfless role in that respect and that can be forgotten.
What was striking about Saturday night was how often defenders were not man marking Marmoush. He became the invisible man just gliding under the radar before popping up to score.
His first was a prime example. By the time the ball reached him at the back post, Newcastle’s players were not alert to the danger and Marmoush was free to fire in.
Marmoush will not be the centre-forward at the Bernabeu on Wednesday night. But, Guardiola will be delighted the striker has added another dimension to an already stacked attack.

“Give me a refund” — Fans furious after repeated rescheduling of ENHYPEN online fansign amid members’ poor health
Fans of ENHYPEN have expressed frustration online after another schedule change affected the group’s video call fansign event. On March 8, the organizers of the event titled [VIDEO CALL EVENT 2] ENHYPEN ‘THE SIN: VANISH’ announced that the event would no longer take place on its previously scheduled date of March 10, 2026.
In an official notice shared online, the organizers says that the event has been postponed due to “unavoidable circumstances.” The video call event will now take place on April 2, 2026, at 8:30 p.m. KST, while the test call for participants has been scheduled for 7:00 p.m. KST on the same day.
In the notice, the organizers apologized to participants and fans who had been preparing for the event. They stated that the team would work to provide a “smoother and more stable service” and asked fans for their understanding regarding the change.
The announcement came shortly after another disruption related to ENHYPEN’s another online fansign events earlier in March. On March 2, a separate video call event involving ENHYPEN was canceled only two hours before its scheduled start time. At the time, the organizers explained that the postponement was due to the members’ poor health.
The second cancellation drew criticism from some fans, many of whom had already adjusted their schedules to participate in the event. Several participants also raised concerns about the lack of earlier notice. One fan wrote online,
“If you’re going to do that, you should give me a refund. What are you doing taking the money?”


Others also questioned the repeated schedule changes and expressed confusion about the newly announced date.
“Shouldn’t there be a clause that allows cancellation when changing the date of the call? It’s so arbitrary. What if I don’t receive the test call? What if someone else shows up during the call? Threats are rampant” said this fan.
“I don’t think there’s any need to badmouth the members. I’m just annoyed by companies that treat fans’ time and money as a joke” wrote this user.
“Is there a problem with Hello Live? Why does it keep doing that in the episodes they do?” asked another fan.
Some ENHYPEN fans said the situation suggested that there might be additional factors behind the postponements.
“There must be something going on. There’s no communication ” said one netizen.
“It seems like there’s trouble with the record label, probably due to money ” read a comment,
“At this point, it seems like there really was a contract problem” wrote this user.
“It seems like there’s trouble with the record label, probably due to money” added this fan.
ENHYPEN’s THE SIN: VANISH surpasses 2 million first-week sales, continues steady run on Billboard charts
Meanwhile, ENHYPEN began 2026 with a strong commercial performance following the release of their seventh mini-album THE SIN: VANISH on January 16, 2026.

Tom Kitten notches 2026 All-Star Mile for back-to-back wins
Tom Kitten etched his name in the record books as the first to defend the All-Star Mile title successfully with a nail-biting win at Flemington.
Last year’s Group 1 renewal went to the Godolphin horse under James Cummings’ preparation, but this Saturday’s result stemmed from a new training arrangement at season’s outset with Anthony and Sam Freedman.
Staying in touch with $2.35 favourite Pride Of Jenni throughout, the $3.90 chance Tom Kitten produced a supreme effort ridden by Craig Williams to hold off Evaporate ($12) by a short-neck, the market elect beaten a further head for third.
The gelding holds a flawless record in two autumn runs, kicking off with victory in the Group 3 Kevin Heffernan Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield February 7.
The Freedmans shunned the Group 1 Futurity Stakes over 1400m there a couple of weeks back, instead targeting Saturday fresh off a trial at Caulfield Heath in the past month.
After a spring that unravelled with a late barrier scratch in the Memsie Stakes, Sam Freedman hailed Tom Kitten as an extraordinary galloper.
“He’s been to the top for a long time, and we’ve been blessed to get him into the stable in the last eight or nine months,” Freedman said.
“We were disappointed with the spring we had with him. We felt he was going well, but we were chasing our tail, but this prep, I don’t know what it is.
“I rang Dad this morning and said he’s a different horse. He looks amazing, he’s holding more condition, he’s racing heavier than he was in the spring.
“Sometimes you are a victim when horses change yards. They go onto a different feed, a few changes can happen pretty quickly.
“He’s now in a nice routine at Pinecliff, gets out into a paddock during the day.
“He’s a remarkable horse and turns up every time.
The Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m) on March 28 presents a straightforward next assignment for Tom Kitten, yet Freedman suggested the Group 1 Doncaster Handicap (1600m) at Randwick April 4 as potentially ideal.
“I feel he’s best fresh at a mile,” Freedman said.
“We might see him in the Doncaster more likely than the Australian Cup.
“He might grind away late like he wants the 2000 metres, but he likes a strong tempo where he can sit back and stalk them.
“We’ll have a chat as he’s also entered in Dubai and Hong Kong, so there’s plenty of options for him.
“The beauty of him is he’s an easy horse to work with.”
This was Williams’ maiden All-Star Mile win since its 2019 inception.
He’d been runner-up the preceding pair on Mr Brightside, losing to Tom Kitten last year and Pride Of Jenni in 2024.
He sat out 2023 injured during Mr Brightside’s success.
“This horse beat me last year in this race on Brightside and because we haven’t got Brightside now, if you can’t beat them, join them, I thought,” Williams said.
“He’s just a big, strong individual and he knows it. He’s content and we saw it today under race pressure.”

How fans are becoming biggest casualties of FIFA’s expensive 2026 World Cup | Football News
The FIFA World Cup has always been marketed as football’s biggest celebration, a global festival where fans from every corner of the world gather to support their national teams. However, the build-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico is increasingly raising concerns that the tournament is drifting away from its core supporters.
Rising ticket prices, dynamic pricing models, tournament expansion to 48 teams, and the logistical complexity of a three-country hosting format are creating a situation where the very fans who give the World Cup its identity may be priced out of the experience.
Ticket Prices: A Growing Barrier for Supporters
One of the biggest controversies surrounding the 2026 tournament has been the pricing of tickets distributed through national football federations, known by FIFA as Participant Member Associations (PMAs).
These tickets account for roughly 16% of the total allocation and are traditionally reserved for the most loyal supporters that are the fans who regularly travel to watch their national teams in qualifiers and international friendlies.
However, prices initially ranged from $180 to $700 even for group-stage matches are sparking significant backlash from fan groups across multiple countries. After criticism intensified, FIFA introduced a limited $60 ‘entry tier’ ticket, but this covers only about 10% of the PMA allocation, which equals roughly 1.6% of the total tickets available.
For many supporters, the move felt less like meaningful reform and more like damage control.
Dynamic Pricing and the Commercialization of the World Cup
Another major factor behind the surge in prices is FIFA’s growing reliance on dynamic pricing. Dynamic pricing allows ticket costs to fluctuate depending on demand, a strategy widely used in entertainment and professional sports markets. While the system can maximize revenue, it also creates unpredictability for fans planning months or even years in advance.
In practical terms, it means that high-demand matches could see prices increase dramatically, potentially making World Cup tickets comparable to premium entertainment events rather than accessible sporting experiences.
Why FIFA Is Pushing for Higher Revenues?
From FIFA’s perspective, the financial logic behind these decisions is straightforward. The men’s World Cup is the organization’s primary source of income, generating billions of dollars through broadcasting rights, sponsorships, and ticket sales. These revenues fund a wide range of FIFA activities, including:
-
Women’s tournaments -
Youth competitions -
Development programs in smaller football nations -
Financial support for many of FIFA’s 211 member associations
With the 2026 edition expected to be the largest World Cup ever, FIFA sees an opportunity to significantly increase its earnings.
However, critics argue that maximizing profit should not come at the expense of the tournament’s most dedicated supporters.
The 48-Team Expansion: Bigger Tournament, Bigger Costs
The 2026 World Cup will also mark the first edition with 48 teams instead of 32, increasing the total number of matches from 64 to 104 games.
While the expansion is intended to make the tournament more inclusive by giving more nations a chance to participate, it also introduces several challenges:
-
More travel between venues -
Greater logistical complexity -
Higher operational costs -
Longer tournament duration
These factors inevitably feed into the rising price of attending matches. For fans hoping to follow their teams through multiple rounds, the financial commitment could be significantly higher than in previous tournaments.
A Three-Country World Cup and the Travel Burden
The 2026 tournament will also be the first World Cup hosted by three countries simultaneously – the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
While the joint hosting arrangement allows FIFA to use a vast network of stadiums and infrastructure, it also creates enormous travel demands for supporters.
Matches could be spread across thousands of kilometers, forcing fans to take multiple flights or long-distance journeys if they wish to follow their teams throughout the competition.
When combined with already expensive tickets, the cost of attending multiple matches could become unrealistic for many traditional supporters. For example, if a fan wants to watch the defending champions Argentina, he will have to travel from Kansa City to Arlington (8-8.5 hour drive) for the 2nd match and then make the return trip to watch Messi’s final group game in Kansas again. The trip however, short will cost them money and time along with other accomodation expenses.
Also if teams like Mexico and Canada make it to the final of the tournament, they will have to travel all the way to New Jersey in USA in order to see their team play which would add the flights expenses into the list as well.
The Atmosphere Problem
Ironically, pricing out dedicated fans could ultimately harm the product FIFA is trying to sell. The World Cup’s global appeal is not built solely on the football played on the pitch. It also comes from the vibrant atmosphere created by traveling supporters, the singing, chanting, colorful displays, and emotional energy that fill stadiums.
If ticket prices push these fans out of stadiums, there is a risk that the tournament could increasingly resemble a corporate event dominated by sponsors, VIP guests, and casual spectators.
Fans Still Hold Influence
The backlash against ticket pricing has already shown that supporters can influence decisions when they organize and speak collectively.
FIFA’s introduction of a lower-priced entry tier, even if limited suggests that fan pressure can still push the governing body toward adjustments.
