WORLD football-governing body, FIFA, says organisers of next month’s U-17 World Cup in Nigeria must use Egypt’s preparations for the U-20 World Cup event as a catalyst to help them get ready.

FIFA at one stage threatened to move the tournament from the country because of organisational difficulties.

In contrast the world body has praised planning for the U-20 World Cup, which kicks-off today in Alexandria.

“This should serve as a catalyst to help Nigeria to be ready,” FIFA vice-president, Jack Warner, said in Cairo, the Egyptian capital, on Wednesday.

“(Nigeria should) look at the organisation and look at the quality of the facilities.

“And therefore I hope that this will serve as a kind of stepping stone for Nigeria to be ready.

“As I speak to you now Nigeria is not yet fully ready. I hope that some of this (Egypt’s planning) will pass off on to Nigeria,” he said.
