The hearings will take place at the NFF Headquarters located within the MKO Abiola Stadium, offering a central venue for all involved parties—including clubs, players, agents, and legal representatives—to present their submissions.

The cases scheduled for review span a wide range of disputes.
They include club-versus-club conflicts over transfers and financial obligations, employment-related disagreements between players, coaches and their clubs, as well as cases involving football agents seeking arbitration over contractual breaches.
Additionally, the committee will address issues relating to player documentation, including disputes linked to passports, registration, and eligibility.
