AAG: Coach Appeals For Handball Team’s Sponsorship
Chief Coach of the
national male handball team, Michael Taangahar, has appealed for sponsorship ahead of the 2015 All-Africa Games (AAG) qualifiers.
The regional elimination competition for the 2015 AAG will hold in Niamey, Niger Republic from March 10 to March 24.
Taangahar however told newsmen that the major problem the team was having ahead of the competition was sponsorship.
“Matches in the competition will start in March 10, but we are leaving Abuja for Niamey on March 8 by road, which is about 12 hours journey, because we don’t have money to travel by air.
“The Federal Government is doing its part, but is not enough.
“So, we are appealing for sponsorship. We need corporate and private organisations to come to the aid of our team,” he said.
