Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will again have to
borrow for next weekend's 2014 World Cup playoff
against Ethiopia, officials disclosed.
The NFF need at least 50 million Naira for a
November 16 playoff for a place at next year's World
Cup in Brazil.
This cost has been reduced because of the part
sponsorship from the Cross Rivers State
Government.
This will be to cover match bonuses as well as the
return ticket refunds for the team and also logistical
costs.
"We will again be forced to borrow to fund this
match," a top NFF official told MTNFootball.com
"We are seriously broke as we only receive a monthly
subvention of 52 million Naira from government and
this is far from adequate to cover our many costs."
MTNFootball.com was told by officials that NFF
finances took a direct hit when the over 700 million
Naira spent for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations was
removed from the federation's annual budget by
government.
"It was to have been a special grant but government
later decided it should come from our budget,"
another top official said.
Nigeria have a foot at Brazil 2014 after they beat
hosts Ethiopia 2-1 in the first leg of the playoffs last
month. www.oseni9ja..com/2013/11/eagles-vs-ethiopia-match-nff-borrows.html?m=1
