    Golden Eaglets shelve festive activities Determined to put up good performance at CAN U-17 Championship, Niger 2015, the Golden Eaglets have shelved observing public holidays to continue with their training session at the NFF/FIFA Goal Project in Abuja. All the national teams except the Golden Eaglets are presently on break but Emmanuel Amuneke, the Head Coach of the Nigeria's U-17 team, said the players needed to be fit as fiddle in order to play at optimum level even as he commended his wards for sacrificing their comfort while others are on festive holiday. "The only magic in football is fitness and not any fetish thing; and without fitness, we can't be a winner," said Amuneke who clocks 44 on December 25th." By the grace of God, we would train once on Thursday because we need to keep ourselves very fit for the task ahead." Wednesday's morning training saw the players being drilled physically including athleticism, abdominal exercises amongst others and would expectedly continue with same routine in the coming days. "We are quite impressed with the response of the players but we are going to push them even harder," explained Amuneke." The players need to regain their fitness level because some are still rusty since we went on break after the qualification in September. He adds:" For us to function well, we must be ready to work well because apart from your skill, you have to push yourselves very hard and that is why the like of Messi and Ronaldo are still the best in the world." Speaking further, team's coordinator, Prince Udofia said it was important to continue with the training regimen during the festive holiday period:"I think no sacrifice is too small to be champions and we have to commend the players' efforts in this regard." The Golden Eaglets were on Sunday drawn against the hosts, Niger in Group A along with Guinea and Zambia in Group A of the 11th African U-17 Championship tagged Niger 2015 that would be held between February 15th and March 1st next year in Niamey.

    By Footyalert →
    As we look ahead to the commencement of a new season in the Nigerian Football Leagues, it's important that we see improvement at all levels. From the league organizers to the clubs and fans. 

    Personally I'll love to see quality officiating in the Nigeria Professional Football League to the amateur division and I'll love to see league venues filled to capacity but the truth is are clubs ready to attract fans? 

    I won't compare what we have here in Nigeria to what is
    obtainable in other countries but it's obvious that there's a disconnect between clubs and fans in Nigeria. In a country where football is the number one sport with no other sport insight to rival it and with a population of over 150 million people local clubs have failed to leverage on the impact of fans yet club chairmen/owners are quick to reel out series of excuses why the fans will NEVER be interested to see a local football match.

    By Footyalert → Thursday, 13 November 2014
    Reports suggesting that Qatar will be interested to host the Africa Cup of nations after the Confederation of Africa Football ruled out Morocco as host of the tournament in 2015 has been denied. 

    According to French daily L’équipe  'the Gulf nation is among the possible options considered by CAF as an alternate venue to host the 2015 AFCON scheduled tfor January 17th to February 9th 2014. 

    According to a quote by the French daily, ‘Qatar could take the opportunity to test its capabilities.’

    But Agence France Presse (AFP) quoted the vice-president of the Qatari Football Association, Saud al-Al Mohanadi, saying that the information suggesting such thing as Qatar hosting the African football showpiece is ‘false’, adding that for a non-African country to host an African football event ‘does not make any sense.’

    CAF have specifically stated through its president, Issa Hayatou that a new host will be announced in the next three days.
