Nigeria, Kenya match: NFF, PTF disagree over travel arrangements

05.11.2009

NIGERIA Football Federation (NFF) officials are making their own travel plans for Nairobi, after they were left unhappy with the seats alloca-ted to them by the Presiden-tial Task Force (PTF) in an earlier arrang-ement.

The PTF had arranged for a chartered aircraft to take the team, supporters, media and other officials to Nairobi for the last 2010 World Cup qualifier.

But the NFF were allocated only 50 seats, to cover the 23 players, 11-member technical team and backroom team plus NFF officials. The Glass House were not happy with that arrangement and has decided instead, to make their own travel arrangements.

A key NFF management staff was dispatched to Lagos on Tuesday to begin discussions with one of the airlines. The team is expected to leave for Nairobi on Thursday, November 12.

Nigeria is second to Tunisia with two points behind Tunisia in the race to South Africa, need to win in Kenya and hope that the north Africans fail to get a win in Maputo.
