Nigeria Federation Abandon Falconets On Arrival

The Nigerian Under-20 women national team, Falconet who finished fourth at the just concluded FIFA U-20 Would Cup hosted by Japan was left to cater for themselves on their arrival at the Muritala International Airport Lagos.

No member of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) were in sight to receive the women team which prompted the contingents to leave for their different destinations after many hours of futile wait for NFF officials.

Some of the players who spoke to newsmen on condition of anonymity fumed on the cold gesture by the NFF.

''We are disappointed for not being welcomed or received on our arrival home, although our best might not be enough to earn us a respectable result at this outing but God knows that we gave our best,'' said one of the Falconet players.
