After the national team failed to qualify for this year’s World Cup in Qatar, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) apologized to the federal government and football fans.
On Tuesday in Abuja, the Super Eagles drew 1-1 with Ghana, losing out on the away goal rule.
Despite the best efforts of the football house and the Sports Ministry, the team was unable to secure a World Cup ticket, according to NFF General Secretary Dr Mohammed Sanusi.
“There was nothing missing from the team’s needs.” The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) had all logistics in place with the active cooperation of the Sports Ministry, and Nigerians showed out in large numbers to cheer on the squad. We didn’t leave anything to chance, to tell you the truth.
“It’s all about winning and losing in sports.” Nobody wants to lose, but it does happen from time to time. We are disappointed that, despite a draw in Kumasi, the Super Eagles were unable to win in Abuja. “We sincerely apologize to the Nigerian government and people for this non-qualification,” Sanusi stated.
