The Council is composed of 37 members elected by the FIFA Congress for a renewable term of four years.
Mr. Amaju Pinnick, who served two terms as President of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), was elected to the Council in March 2021, following in the footsteps of the late Oyo Orok Oyo and Dr. Amos Adamu.
