For the next five years, the NFF, all its partners, national teams and events, are covered.
Wapic Insurance has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to be the official insurer of the NFF.
The 5-year deal also covers the Super Eagles, other national teams, and all assets, co-sponsors and official partners of the NFF.
Under the partnership which commences immediately, Wapic will provide comprehensive insurance coverage for all national team players and officials for every match to be played as well as all other events and programs organized by the NFF.
Wapic, as a life insurer, would also be offering advisory services to players on long-term investments to secure their future upon retirement from active football.
The NFF President Amaju Pinnick, in his remarks stated that “we are not just looking for a partner because of money, we want to give our players a life, we want to give them hope and a future. We also want to help them invest their money wisely. Encouraging smart investment among players is important to the NFF, and so, together with Wapic, players will be mentored and influenced towards investment so that they have something to fall back on upon retirement.”
