The Nigeria Football Federation should by now beam its earch light on another state that would host the Federation Cup final as the Lagos State Football Association is not ready to honour the NFF proposal.
The Chairman of the Lagos State Football Association, Seyi Akinwunmi, who has vowed to repackage the level football development in Lagos State, said the era of beckoning on the Lagos State Government to host top NFF graded matches without making available funds to run the match was over.
The NFF in its usual had witten to the LSFA to host the final as well as the loser's match of the Federation Cup biled for the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere.
Akinwunmi, said the LSFA would only accept to run this year's Federation Cup final and Loser's match at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, if the NFF gives them sufficient funds rom the Feeration's Cup sponsorship deal to run the event, stressing that the LSFA needs money to accomplish its numerous footall competitions that wasting its resources on the NFF sponsored competition.
He said the International friendly between Nigeria's Super Eagles and Sierra Leone sponsored by the state's governmnet waas an unprofitable venture as the NFF is yet to give the LSFA of the money reliased through the sales of match tickets.
He believed that the NFF should accord its affiliated body,LSFA, with cordial respect, adding that the Federation's Cup is being sponsored by corporate bodies, so it would be unwise to solely take up the NFF responsibility withoutbeing backed up with finacial commitment.
