NFA says no misunderstanding with Keshi on Eagles list

Super Eagles’ Head Coach, Stephen Keshi will now release his list of players for next month’s 2013 African Cup of Nations final qualifying match against Liberia on Saturday, 25th August.

Nigeria Football Association’s Director of Technical, Dr. Emmanuel Ikpeme said the much-awaited list of foreign-based players will be made known at a press conference at the Teslim Balogun Stadium Saturday afternoon.

“There is no misunderstanding as some people are trying to make out. It is a matter of procedure. There is a Technical Committee and it has the responsibility to look at the list submitted by the Head Coach.

“The Technical Committee will deliberate on the list and by Saturday, we can make it public. Of course, the home-based players are already known; they are already in camp. The curiousity is about which foreign-based players will come for the match.” said Ikpeme.

The Super Eagles will fly to Monrovia on 6th September for the final 2013 African Cup of Nations qualifying fixture, first leg match against the Lone Star, billed for the Samuel Kanyon Doe Stadium on Saturday, 8th September.
