NFF Assure Golden Eaglets On World Cup.

The  Nigeria Football Federation, NFF,  has for the umpteenth time pledged  its unalloyed  support  towards  the  National Under 17 successful outing at the 2013 FIFA Under-17 World Cup in the UAE.

A message of solidarity was delivered to team at their Princeville Hotel Camp in Calabar on Sunday by Alhaji Muazu Suleiman on behalf of NFF’s President Alhaji Aminu Maigari and other board members.

Suleiman who is the chairman of the NFF’s Referee  Committee, said it was  imperative that the team  remain focussed  on its objectives with the beginning of the  World Cup  around the corner  even as he enjoined  the players to be up and doing.

“I’m here on behalf of President of the NFF who is unavoidably absent here today and we want to assure the NFF would do everything in our capacity to help you conquer the world in the UAE,” said Suleiman who was the Golden Eaglets’ leader of delegation through all their CAN qualifiers. “The fact that you couldn’t win the tournament in Morocco should be a big motivation for you to perform better at the World cup.

“Personally, I have passion for this team and by the grace of God, Iwould in Dubai to offer as usual my personal support because this is a team that is different in attitude and conduct.”
While commending the overall team spirit and unity of purpose especially amongst the technical crew, Suleiman told the players to shun any disciplined conduct and be focussed.

“The most important thing in achieving success is for you to be disciplined and there is no two ways about that,” he advised. “We are proud of this team because for almost two years, we have not heard of any rancour even despite the challenges you are facing and that show there is an overall discipline.”

Responding on behalf of the team, Head Coach Manu Garba(MFR), thank the NFF board led by  Alhaji Maigari for always duty-bound in addressing  issues concerning the  team, promising a good outing at the World  Cup:“ Of course, we have challenges but we are focussed and by the grace of God, we shall do well at the  World Cup.”
