Supersand Eagles qualify for ABSC after Libya’s withdrawal
Supersand Eagles have qualified for the 2015 African Beach Soccer Championship (ABSC) finals after Libya withdrew from the qualifying competition.
The North Africans’ withdrawal has been communicated to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), meaning the 2007 and 2009 champions go through to the finals scheduled for Seychelles between April 14 and 19 without kicking the ball.
But Nigeria’s coach, Audu Adamu Ejo, is not pleased with the decision.
“We would have loved to use the fixture against Libya as part of our preparation for the African Beach Soccer Championship,” he told NFF official website.
“However, there is nothing we can do other than to now start our final camping for the championship proper.”
The team returned to the country on Monday following a third place finish at the Power Horse invitational tournament in Durban, South Africa.
