Resolutions reached at the Congress include newly approved transfer fee for players. Premier League players transfer is now pegged at ₦200,000 and ₦100,000 for Pro League players; a measure which was introduced to prevent enslavement of players. Also, the deadline for payment of registration is 19th March while collection of licenses will end on or before 30th March, 2018.

The Congress then thanked the Amaju Pinnick led NFF board for their support and also the Edo state government for hosting the Super 4 in Benin. Also the board thanked the Lagos State Government for hosting the 2018 Women Football League Congress and the Champions Shield tournament.
