The LFP’s international development manager, Redha Chibani, will be accompanied by CEO of Niemann International and former chief executive of DFL Sports, Dr Robert Niemann. The session will see the panel put their extensive experience into practice and discuss possible ways to increase the quality of participation at all levels of Nigerian football, with the aim of attracting new sponsors and fans to make regional football more popular.
