The Nigeria Football Federation has revealed their disappointment regarding the players who are yet to be issued entry visas into Belgium ahead of Thursday's friendly against DR Congo. The Super Eagles will also play another friendly against Cameroon on Saturday. NFF technical committee chairman Felix Anyansi-Agwu said:
"We are shocked beyond words at the attitude of the Embassy of Belgium in Nigeria.
This action is a strange one in international sports. Football preaches and spreads peace and love, but we are taken aback at the attitude of the Belgian embassy in Nigeria. This attitude of the Embassy of Belgium in Nigeria is not known to international sports. Our team’s preparedness for the only preparatory games ahead of the beginning of FIFA World Cup qualifiers has been unduly hampered. The team's medical crew and other critical backroom staff are held back in Nigeria. This action is not just against a Football Federation; it is against an entire nation."
