Nigeria has qualified for the 2015
African Beach Soccer Championship finals after Libya announced its withdrawal
from the qualifying competition.
Libya’s withdrawal has been communicated to the Nigeria
Football Federation, meaning the 2007 and 2009 champions go through to the
finals scheduled for Seychelles April 14-19.
The Supersand Eagles returned to the country on Monday
following a third place finish at the Power Horse Invitational Tournament in
Durban, South Africa, and were set to continue training in Lagos ahead of the
first leg of the qualifying fixture against Libya which was to be played this
weekend.
Coach Audu Adamu Ejo said: “We would have loved to use the
fixture against Libya as part of our preparation for the African Beach Soccer
Championship. However, there is nothing we can do other than to now start our
final camping for the championship proper.
