Nigeria To Represent Africa In Beach Soccer
The Nigeria Beach Soccer team has been invited to participate
in the 2nd Samsung Beach Soccer International Cup, holding in Dubai from
October 30 to November 3.
The invitation came via a letter last week in Abuja, from
the Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSW) to the Nigeria Football Association (NFA).
The letter requested Nigeria to represent Africa as other
continents would be represented.
It said that the country’s delegation should consist of 15
men with 12 players, including two goalkeepers and three officials with a
medical doctor or physiotherapist.
Nigeria represented Africa in the first edition in 2011 but
did not go beyond the group stage.
