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.”
