Summary:  We study some properties of coisotropic submanifolds of a manifold with respect to a given multivector field. Using this notion, we generalize two main results of Weinstein [24] from Poisson bivector field to Nambu-Poisson tensor or more generally to any multivector field. We also introduce the notion of Nambu-Lie groupoid generalizing the concepts of both Poisson-Lie groupoid and Nambu-Lie group. We show that under certain cohomological restriction, Nambu-Lie groupoids give rise to weak Lie-Filippov bialgebroids as introduced in [1]. Next, we introduce coisotropic subgroupoids of a Nambu-Lie groupoid and these subgroupoids correspond to, so-called coisotropic subalgebroids of the corresponding weak Lie-Filippov bialgebroid.
