NFF's Financial Problems May Hinder Super Eagles Afcon Chances

Financial problems may hinder the Super Eagles chances of winning a third African Cup of Nations trophy. <br /><br /><i>Supersport.com</i> quoting an official of the Nigeria Football Federation says the National Sports Commission, NSC has not released funds of about one million euros (=N=220 million) for Nigeria's participation at the continental tourney.<br /><br />''We (the NFF) have just been trying to see that things go smoothly but this situation has caused untold hardship and embarrassment to the football house and the Super Eagles.<br /><br />''We have resorted to borrowing just to ensure that things go smoothly. This is sad because the NSC has no role to play at the Nations Cup.<br /><br />''They have received the money and have refused to release it to the federation, The money in question represent allocation and it is not a gift so I don&rsquo;t understand why we will not have received the funds with less than two days to the kickoff of the competition,'' the unnamed NFF official told supersport.com.<br /><br />Meanwhile, as exclusively revealed by <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>, the Nigeria delegation arrived the Oliver Tambo International Airport on Thursday morning at around 11:00 hours.<br /><br /><br />
