NaijaSportsXtra.blogspot.com gathered from a statement from the NFF after the
Super Eagles’ Team Administrator, Enebi Achor confirmed last week Friday that officials at the Embassy of Belgium had requested for additional documents on Wednesday, and as Thursday was public holiday, the documents were taken to the Embassy last Friday.
“We had booked tickets on Lufthansa Airline for the delegation to travel from Abuja to Frankfurt on Sunday, but that can no longer happen as the passports are still at the Embassy of Belgium. As things stand now, we can only leave for Frankfurt on Monday evening, to arrive in Belgium on Tuesday, if the visas are issued today (Monday).”
This means home –based professionals Femi Thomas, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Austin Oboroakpo, Paul Onobi, Prince Aggrey and Chima Akas will have a day less to train with the group beforeThursday’s clash with the Leopards of Democratic Republic of Congo in Vise, Liege.
NFF officials are unhappy that the Embassy of Belgium did not request for the additional documents earlier than Wednesday, September 30, as the international passports had been submitted nine days earlier.
