Nigeria Is Set to host ICC U-19 World Cup Qualifiers
The Nigeria Cricket Federation (NCF) says it is ready to host the International Cricket Council (ICC) U-19 Africa Division 2 World Cup qualifiers in September.
The NCF’s Public Relations Officer (PRO) Musa Ehizoje stated on Monday in Abuja that preparations were in place to host the eight-nation tournament in Abuja.
“Nigeria is very ready to host the tournament. The most important aspect of hosting a tournament is already in place, which is the grounds.
“We have twin pitches at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja and they are ready,” Ehizoje said.
Considering the prevalent security challenges in the country, the NCF official said that the ICC is satisfied with the country’s security details.
“There are no challenges with regards to security.
“Before any country will be given the right to host any tournament, ICC must be comfortable with your security plan and they are comfortable with our security details.”
Ehizoje said the decision to grant Nigeria the hosting rights was due to her grassroots development efforts in promoting the game.
However, the tournament is scheduled for Sept. 28th to Oct. 9th, 2022.
