EXUIFA Urges NFF to Appoint Substantive Super Eagles Head Coach
The Ex-University of Ibadan Footballers Association (EXUIFA) has advised the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to expedite the appointment of a substantive Head Coach for the Super Eagles.
In a recent opinion poll conducted among its members, the association emphasized the need for a permanent coach to be appointed, ideally before the next qualifying match.
The consensus among EXUIFA members is that Coach Augustine Eguavoen should revert to his role as Technical Director, while a new foreign or local coach is appointed to lead the team for a minimum period of two years.
This recommendation is not a reflection on Eguavoen’s tactical abilities but rather a call for a fresh perspective, as the current team lacks the discipline required to succeed at the highest level.
By appointing a substantive Head Coach, the NFF can provide stability and direction for the Super Eagles, enabling them to reach their full potential.
They were of the opinion that the Federation should expand its scouting system to ensure that only the best players are given the opportunity to dorn the country’s colour, as some of the players in the team currently, have no business to be there.
The Association which is made of all the players that have passed through Premier University in the country, will hold its 10th Anniversary on 21 December 2024.

FCT Golf association targets grassroots growth, Olympic success
The FCT Golf Association has unveiled ambitious plans to promote golf at the grassroots level while pursuing Olympic dreams for Nigeria.
Speaking to journalists, the association’s chairman, Mr. Akabong Enebong, expressed pride in the achievements of Nigerian golfers and reiterated the group’s commitment to further growth.
“Our athletes in golf have been doing exceptionally well, and as an association, we aim to help them achieve even greater success at the next National Sports Festival,” he said.
Akabong emphasized the importance of grassroots development, revealing partnerships with the FCT Education Board to establish golf academies and ranges in five schools, including those in Tundun Wada, Gwarinpa, and Garshi. “This initiative will not only develop future golfers but also introduce young students to the sport,” he explained.
The association also announced a partnership with former Super Eagles striker Osaze Odemwingie, who transitioned to professional golf in 2019. After graduating from the Professional Golfers Association’s school in 2024, Odemwingie is focused on bringing Nigeria to the global golf stage.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Osaze, who will play a key role in grooming young golfers for the Olympics. This partnership reflects our belief in the potential of Nigerian youths,” Akabong added.
