NFA plan another Eagles friendly
The Nigeria Football Association, NFA, are arranging for the national football team, the Super Eagles to play an international friendly match on August 13 and 17, Nigeriansportsonline.com reports.
A prestige game between the Eagles and the Black Stars of Ghana initially billed for February 7 looks to have gone up in smoke, but the football house have assured that Nigeria will play friendly games on FIFA international match days in August.
Alhaji Sani Lulu told Nigeriansportsonline.com:
“I have not been able to get any confirmation for the Ghana match.
“We did our part by signing an MOU with the agent organizing the game but it seems the Ghanaians are not eager to sign.
“I will want Nigerians to know that we have done our own bit as regards seeing the Eagles play that friendly match.
“The committee saddled with the duty of getting friendly games for the Eagles is working something out.”
The NFA’s committee in charge of friendly matches comprises Amanze Uchegbulam, Taiwo Ogunjobi and acting secretary general, Fanny Amun.
Ogunjobi told Nigeriansportsonline.com: “We are arranging something for August 13 and 17, which are FIFA free days.”
