The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has mandated its Technical and Development Sub-Committee to make recommendations to the Executive Committee on coaching crews for the Super Eagles, the CHAN team, U-20 (Flying Eagles), and the U17 Boys (Golden Eaglets) ahead of upcoming assignments.
In a communiqué issued at the end of the NFF Executive Committee meeting held in Abuja yesterday, this step becomes necessary to ensure adequate preparations for the next qualifying tournaments and championships in earnest.
The NFF, however, tendered an unreserved apology to the Federal Government and the people of Nigeria for the inability of the Super Eagles to win a ticket to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
They lauded President Muhammadu Buhari, for his presence and apologised that the team faltered in the quest for a ticket to Qatar.
They hailed the Minister for Youth and Sports Development Sunday Dare for his savvy in convening the meeting held among the Presidency, Sports Ministry, and NFF to review the unfortunate outcome of the match with Ghana and agree on concrete steps on how to reinvigorate the Super Eagles and indeed Nigeria Football going forward.
Also in line with the statutes, a roadmap for new elections into the NFF Board would be designed at the Annual General Assembly (AGA) of the NFF once the ex parte injunction suspending the Congress from the meeting is vacated.
The Committee promised to support the Super Falcons for the 12th edition of the Women Africa Cup of Nations taking place in Morocco in July, by providing the team ample support for adequate preparation for the Championship, as the event also serves as a qualifying tournament for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup finals.
