Nigeria’s Falcons might have
crashed out of the world cup
when they should be playing
in the final, but the famous
remarks made by coach
Eucheria Uche that lesbians
were not welcomed in her
team continue to make
waves.

More than
40,000
people
signed a
petition
for Uche
to be
fired. And
FIFA give
the
controversy credibility when
the world soccer ruling body
declared July 13
discrimination free day, it
was celebrated during the
semi-finals on Wednesday.

While the Falcons
campaigned for honours in
Germany, they were whistled
by the fans who did not
appreciate quality of football
the Nigerian girls played.

Rather the fans were more
concerned about Uche’s
comment.

The former Nigeria internal
rattled nerves on the even of
the tournament when she
branded. homosexuality as
‘dirty’.
“Homosexuality is a dirty
thing, spiritually and morally
it is very, very wrong,” Uche
is quoted as saying in
German daily Bild.

Before Uche took charge in
2009, players are reported to
have been thrown out of the
Nigerian side under
suspicion of being lesbians.

In a mission statement, FIFA
says it wants to use the sport
in ‘overcoming social and
cultural obstacles for women
with the ultimate aim of
improving women?s
standing in society’.

The coach refused to be
drawn into comments on the
matter during the week. She
obviously had a chat with
FIFA head of women
competition, Tatjana Haenni.
She had rebuked Uche for
her comments and promise
to speak to her.
