The decision was made, according to Eguavoen, to protect the players from losing focus.
During the matches against Egypt and Sudan, Pinnick came in the Super Eagles’ dressing room at halftime to motivate them.
The NFF president and other guests will no longer be permitted to attend Sunday’s Round of 16 match against Tunisia, according to Eguavoen.
He said, “We talked about timing and I am still talking about it. It’s our culture – motivation is good.
“Guests can have short discussions with the team at the restaurant and not inside the dressing room.
“Against Egypt was the only time when the NFF president and the Air Peace president came to see the team and it was five minutes.
“In the second and third games, no one came to see the team. I don’t think this will happen tomorrow (Sunday).”
