Nigeria continues to shine in the firmament of world football, the latest being the invitation of Peter Edibi as one of the referees that will officiate at the FIFA Club World Cup Morocco 2013, scheduled to hold in Agadir and Marakech from December 11 to 21


A letter by the FIFA Referees Committee which was sent to the referee and copied Mr Linus Mba, FIFA Referees advisor and Consultant to the NFF on Refereeing asked the referee to report at the Palmeraie Golf Palace Hotel in Marrrakech by December 4.
