The President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, will inaugurate the Federation’s Futsal and Beach Soccer Sub-Committee on Thursday at the NFF Secretariat in Abuja.


The committee's chairman is Otuekong Nse Essien, with Alhaji Ahmed Yusuf (Fresh), Chairman of Chairmen of Nigerian Football, serving as vice-chairman. Other members include Aminu Mohammed Inuwa, Hon. Suleiman Yahaya-Kwande, Hajji Liameed Gafaar, Mr. Richard Jideaka, and Yabagi Alhaji Baba. Abubakar D. Umar (Barde) serves as the secretary.


The Futsal and Beach Soccer Sub-Committee is responsible for organizing all futsal and beach soccer competitions and handling all matters related to these sports.


Nigeria has been a dominant force in beach soccer at the continental and global levels in previous years. The Supersand Eagles won the Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations in 2007 and 2009 and reached the quarter-finals of the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in Italy 13 years ago.


Last week, the Confederation of African Football conducted the draw for this year’s Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations qualifying series, with the Supersand Eagles set to face Mauritania in home and away matches next month.


A total of 14 countries will participate in the qualifiers, with the seven winners advancing to join hosts Egypt in the finals.


Mauritania will host the Supersand Eagles between July 19th and 21st, with Nigeria hosting the return leg a week later.


Next year, for the first time ever, the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup will be held on African soil, hosted by Seychelles.
