As reported by Sports Brief, it is almost 13 years since the country last hosted any major football tournament, and Pinnick says he notified the Confederation of African Football of Nigeria’s desire to host the tournament.

The NFF boss made this known at the 50th anniversary of the famous Teslim Balogun Stadium as he claimed that Nigeria has already thrown her heart into the ring as CAF compiles a list of other countries also interested.
