Beach Soccer AFCON: Supersand Eagles head to Nouakchott, to play Mauritania on Saturday, says NFF

Posted : 19 July 2024

After five years in the international wilderness, Nigeria’s Supersand Eagles have departed Nigeria for Nouakchott for the 2024 Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against their Mauritanian counterparts, slated for Saturday.


The match, which is the first of a two-leg fixture, will have Egyptian officials in charge. Hany Farouk El-Sayed Eleraky is the referee, with Ahmed Mohamed Elwan Nofal as Referee 2 and Ibrahim El-Sayed Mahgoub as Referee 3. Khaled Mohamed Elewa will serve as the timekeeper, while Moroccan El Mansouri Taha will be the commissioner.


The NFF has appointed Abdullahi Isa, a veteran goalkeeper who later became the assistant coach of the team, as the new Head Coach of the Supersand Eagles, with Christopher Kadiri as Assistant Coach and Bashar Samaila as Goalkeepers’ Trainer.


Experienced players Victor Tale and Emeka Ogbonna are among the squad, which also includes Arome Isah, Adams Taiwo, Emmanuel Ohwoferia, Godwin Tale, Egan-Osi Ekujimi, Chidozie Frank, and Hassan Abdullahi.


The return leg is scheduled for Saturday, 27th July in Nigeria.


After the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Paraguay 2019 debacle that led the NFF to quietly eject the team from the international sphere, a group of enthusiasts, led by Mallam Mahmoud Hadejia, has kept the beach soccer fire burning around the country with the annual Nigeria Beach Soccer League and a range of tournaments.
