(http://cdnza.playfair.co.za/kickoff/464aac39185541ae59d749398b89ac4d_80x80.jpg) The Nigeria Football Federation has expressed displeasure with the antics of the Royal Morocco Football Federation for striving to make life uneasy for the U-23 National Team, Dream Team V, in the lead-up to the CAF U-23 Championship being hosted by that country.
Kick-Off
The NFF should stop complaining. Whatever challenges the players and officials are facing in Morocco should have been envisaged and adequate preparations put in place to mitigate such challenges or antics which have become part of football fiesta in Africa. The players should be gingered up psychologically to deliver on match day. The so called antics are part of the game , particularly in Africa, and these will not be accepted as reasons for failure if Nigeria fails to qualify for the London Olympics Football event.
Already Nigeria is out of the finals of the 2012 Africa Nations Cup Football competition in Gabon/Equatorial Guinea, and it also did not make it to the soccer event (Male and Female) of the 2011 All Africa Games.The Nigerian female team is also already out of the London Olympic Games.
The under-23 Championship/Olympic qualifier matches in Morroco is the only football competition left this year for Nigeria to salvage its battered soocer image.
If Nigeria does not qualify for the Male soccer event of the London Olympics, the NFF Executive members should resign and allow a new lease of life to reign in football administration in Nigeria.
