The Nigeria Football Federation has assured that it is fully prepared for the two big international matches it is hosting in Nigeria this weekend.
On Saturday, the U-23 team, also known as Dream Team entertain Liberia in an All-Africa Games qualifying match in Benin City, following a 1-1 draw in Monrovia last weekend, while the national women’s team, Super Falcons take on arch rival, Black Queens of Ghana in an All-Africa Games qualifier in Abuja on Sunday.
“Of course, we are fully prepared for these matches. We have done most of the groundwork for the two matches before coming to South Africa for the African Youth Championship, and some key personnel would have to return to Nigeria during the week ahead of the games”, said NFF’s Acting General Secretary, Barrister Musa Amadu.
Amadu spoke in Johannesburg following the Flying Eagles’ 2-0 win over Gambia that qualified Nigeria for the tournament’s last four and this year’s FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia.
