FIFA U20 World Cup: Ambassador Confident Argentina Will Put Up A Showpiece - Latest News
“We are a footballing country with citizens who are very passionate about the game, and despite the late award of hosting rights, we will give it everything we have to deliver a smooth and superb tournament. Nigeria is one of the qualified teams and we must attend to the visa requirements of the NFF delegation promptly and as within the regulations,” His Excellency Herrero told a delegation of NFF chieftains led by the President, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau on Friday in Abuja.
FIFA formally announced on 17 April that the finals, earlier billed to be staged in Indonesia, had been moved to Argentina, with the same competition period maintained. Earlier, the NFF President had commended Herrero and his team for receiving the NFF team at short notice, and stated that Nigeria would be looking forward to a championship in which to make history.
“Our two senior teams have enjoyed close contests at the FIFA World Cup level so many times, but I remember that at U20 level, we met in the Final in 2005, which Argentina won by a slim 2-1 margin in The Netherlands. This time, we want to go all the way and we believe Argentina will provide that warm and cordial environment to achieve our target.
