Lobi Stars of Makurdi’s Aper Aku stadium, Enugu Rangers’ Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium and Abia Warriors’ Umuahia Township Stadium are among the home grounds nominated by clubs in the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) that have failed the 2022/23 Club Licensing Facility Requirements test. The NPFL has thus asked the clubs to improve conditions of areas where defects were observed by stadium facility inspectors. The other clubs are Plateau United, Gombe United, Niger Tornadoes, Sunshine Stars, El Kanemi Warriors and Wikki Tourists. According to the NPFL, to date, Plateau United and Gombe United are yet to submit to the facility inspections and have not communicated any reasons for their failure to do so. Lobi Stars, Abia Warriors, Rangers, Wikki Tourists, Niger Tornadoes, Sunshine Stars and El-kanemi Warriors are the clubs that have been notified that their facility falls short of the Club Licensing requirements. Worst hit, however, are Lobi Stars, Abia Warriors and Niger Tornadoes, which, according to the inspectors in separate reports, require serious and extensive makeover works to meet the required minimum standards for approval. Majority of the facilities at the seven grounds nominated by the clubs were found not to be suitable and these range from poor lighting, bad playing turfs, unsuitable conveniences for fans in the general area and obsolete scoreboards. Also found below standards are the changing rooms for players and match officials, medical rooms, meeting rooms and water supply. Other defects in the case of Lobi Stars, Abia Warriors, Niger Tornadoes and Sunshine Stars are poor playing pitches, defective scoreboards and poor sanitary conditions around and inside the stadium. Lobi Stars were told that “the playing pitch, which is synthetic, was found not to be in ideal condition with lots of bad segments needing proper attention or reinforcement. “The Aper Aku Stadium lacks a readily available alternate power source, vide a generator. Water supply is not sufficient in the stadium and its environs and the overhead tank in the stadium needs urgent attention as the tank can no longer serve its purpose.” In Abia Warriors’ case, the report noted: “The field of play at the stadium is still undergoing a replacement. There are no functional floodlights and the general lighting in the stadium is poor. There is no electronic scoreboard and the manual scoreboard available is in dire condition.

Some squad members of the Super Falcons have told Tidesports source that they were yet to be paid their outstanding 2022 WAFCON win bonuses three months after the competition in Morocco. The nine-time African champions boycotted training in the North African country in July to protest their unpaid allowances just before their WAFCON third-place clash against Zambia in Casablanca. The players returned to training after they were reportedly paid part of their camp allowances, with a promise by the Nigeria Football Federation and the sports ministry to clear the outstanding balance, as well as their win bonuses. But some of the players claimed that while they have not been paid their bonuses for winning three matches at the tournament, some also are yet to get full payment of their $1,500 camp allowance. “Can you believe that we are still owed our WAFCON bonuses? In Morocco our camp allowance was $1,500 per player. They paid us $1,000 each and said they would pay the remaining $500 into players’ accounts. Do you know that some players have not received theirs? I was lucky to get mine, but some others haven’t been given their balance of $500, I think, about two of them. It’s demoralising,” one of the senior members of the squad, who spoke on condition of anonymity, stated. Another member of the squad, who also asked not to be named, added that despite all their moves to ensure payment, they have been left frustrated. “We have laid our complaints for a long time now, but they keep telling us that they are working on it. We have spoken with the coach about it too,” our source said.
As 32 players of the National U-23 team began their camping in Ibadan on Monday for the 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Tanzania, some Nigerians have expressed doubt regarding Coach Yusuf Salisu’s ability to deliver the ticket. Salisu, whose Super Eagles B team were eliminated by Ghana’s Black Galaxies in an African Nations Championships (CHAN) qualifying tie on penalties at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abuja, last month, is leading the U-23 team for 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations to be hosted by Morocco. The camp in Ibadan opened on Monday and the Nigerian team is expected to prepare for eight days before jetting out on October 18, for the first leg in Dar es Salaam scheduled for the weekend of October 21-23, 2022. Nigeria will host Tanzania in the second leg at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Ibadan, on October 28, 2022. The analysis on the list of players invited by coach Salisu to the camp in Ibadan was the talking point by sports analysts on radio and television stations, on Wednesday, with majority of fans calling on the new NFF board to replace Salisu with immediate effect to avoid another embarrassment for the country. “I don’t see Salisu winning this ticket for Nigeria,” one fan, who gave his name as Victor from VI, said on a radio programme monitored in Lagos yesterday. Another fan, Oseni from Surulere said: “To me, Salisu lacks the quality of a good coach capable of winning the ticket. He shouldn’t be the head coach of the U-23 Eagles. This is a new NFF board, and I want them to begin well by winning matches. We have suffered enough shocks, and it will be embarrassing to see the U-23 Eagles lose the ticket.” Some football-loving Nigerians had kicked against the decision by the former NFF executive committee to approve the recommendation of its Technical and Development Sub-Committee for the reappointment of Yusuf Salisu, as the Head Coach of the Super Eagles B (CHAN team), as well as the U-23 (Olympics) team.
Participating states in different ball games at the upcoming 2022 National Sports Festival in Delta State have been confirmed by the Main Organising Committee. The games are basketball, football, volleyball, handball, hockey, beach volleyball and baseball/softball. In the Southwest zone, Lagos State dominated the qualifiers in all the seven ball games, qualifying for both male and female categories, except in beach volleyball, where they fell short in the men’s category. Oyo and Ogun states followed up to fill up the remaining spaces, leaving just the female basketball slot for Ondo, while Osun picked one of the slots in male beach volleyball. Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Edo states will continue their rivalries at the festival in Delta State, having jostled for all the available slots in the South South zone among themselves. Imo and Anambra dominated the Southeast qualifiers in six games, as all the states did not present any team for baseball and softball. FCT, Plateau and Nasarawa States are the forces to reckon with in North Central, just as Borno, Adamawa, Gombe, Bauchi and Yobe States shared honours in six games and left out baseball/softball. Kano, Kaduna and Katsina States dominated the affairs in the Northwest, leaving just a slot each for Kebbi and Zamfara States. Notably, only Kaduna entered for baseball/softball, as they will present their female team. Among the seven ball games, basketball has the highest number of participating states with 18, followed by handball and hockey with 17 each. Beach volleyball has 16 states, volleyball and football with 15 states each while baseball/softball will only have five states competing for the medals.
