World Cup Disqualification: NFF tenders apology to Nigerians

The Nigeria Football Federation has apologized to Nigerians for the Super Eagles’ failure to qualify for Qatar 2022 World Cup.

 

General Secretary of the federation, Dr Mohammed Sanusi said on Wednesday March 30, that the team lacked nothing but luck.

His statement to the press read;

 

“There was nothing the team needed that was lacking. The Government provided necessary support; the NFF put all logistics in place with the active support of the sports ministry and Nigerians turned out en masse to support the team. The truth is that we left nothing to chance. It is sad that things turned out the way they did.

 

“Sport is about winning and losing. Nobody wants to lose but sometimes it happens that way. We are quite sad that despite playing a draw in Kumasi, the Super Eagles could not win here in Abuja. We apologise unreservedly to the Government and people of Nigeria for this non-qualification.”
