Congratulations - Super Eagles legend Oliseh lands new job

Nigeria and Super Eagles legend Sunday Oliseh has been warmly congratulated after announcing his latest career milestone. 

The former midfield maestro revealed on his X (formerly Twitter) account that he has been appointed to the International Football Association Board (IFAB).

In his announcement, Oliseh expressed his excitement and honor:

“Thrilled to announce my appointment to the International Football Association Board (IFAB)!” 

“IFAB is the global guardian of football’s laws, responsible for determining the laws of football, shaping the beautiful game for players and fans worldwide. Honored to contribute to its mission!”

IFAB is the authoritative body that oversees and determines the official laws of football globally, playing a crucial role in shaping the sport’s future. 

Oliseh’s appointment is a significant achievement, positioning him at the heart of football governance and law-making.

Following the news, Nigerian fans and football enthusiasts flooded the comment section with praise and well-wishes for the former Juventus and Borussia Dortmund midfielder, who has remained vocal on social media. 

Some of the reactions included: “Congratulations!” one of the fans stated.

Another said; “Bro, you should be impacting the knowledge to the younger generation, maybe as a coach or as a technical person. You did fantastically well at Fortuna Sittard in Dutch because I followed your progress until that issue with the club management and you had to leave. We still need you.”

“Congratulations and best of luck as you discharge your duties,” a third person wished the Super Eagles legend.

Sunday Oliseh’s new role at IFAB not only reminds of his enduring influence in football but also offers him a platform to shape the game’s laws and development worldwide. 

Nigerian football fans will be keenly watching as their iconic star takes on this prestigious responsibility.
