Flooded Sudan pitch causes Eagles training hiccup

Nigeria were forced to move their training session on Friday night from the Khartoum International Stadium to the FIFA Technical centre after heavy rains left the match venue waterlogged.

The squad arrived at the grounds just before 8PM for their mandatory feel of the pitch, but could only stand and stare at two huge puddles of water on both sides of the artificial turf.

Unable to do anything, the session was loved to the alternative venue and the team finally held a light work out which started an hour behind schedule.

Nigeria officials have contacted CAF about the situation but their Sudanese hosts have given assurances that the water would be drained on time for the game to go ahead at the same venue.

Maigari must be magnanimous, says Inyama

NFF executive Committee member Emeka Inyama says returning president Aminu Maigari must ensure reconciliation after he was restored to office by FIFA.

Maigari was impeached by the executive committee last month as fresh crisis erupted in Nigerian football.

But on Thursday, FIFA wrote to the NFF directing that the Executive Committee be restored to it's pre World Cup status, and Inyama now says Maigari must be magnanimous

"The highest body in world football says we should resort to status quo. And that is what we are going to do," Inyama told ColinUdoh.com on Friday. 

"Maigari must see this a case of no victor no vanquished," he added. "He should find a way to bring all the parties together and carry everybody along in the interest of Nigerian football and to bring peace."
