The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has registered the national beach soccer team (Sand Eagles) for the next Beach Soccer AFCON Qualifiers according to reliable sources in the Federation and the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
The leadership of NFF under its President, Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau is working towards returning the beach soccer national team to international competitions with the registration of the team for the next Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations (BSAFCON) Qualifiers.
The Federation and CAF Competition Department confirmed the registration of the two-time African Champions for the Qualifiers.
Since 2019, the Sand Eagles have not participated in any international competitions after the team was disbanded during the NFF Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Edo State.
There was a glimmer of hope of a return to the international stage during the last BSAFCON but the team was withdrawn before the commencement of the tournament in Mozambique by the NFF under former President, Amaju Melvin Pinnick.
The intending return to the international stage of the beach soccer national team serves as a breakthrough for the Nigeria Beach Soccer League (NBSL) which is in its fourth season with a huge pool of talents available to storm the continent.
It is now left for the NFF leadership to announce the technical crew for the beach soccer national team in the coming days ahead of the qualifiers.
The announcement of the technical crew for the team will set the path for the invitation of players in preparation for the Qualifiers later this year.
The next BSAFCON will be held in Egypt and serve as qualifiers for the next Beach Soccer World Cup which will take place in another African country, Seychelles in 2025.
It will be a huge success for the Sand Eagles to qualify for the World Cup now that it is taking place in Africa in 2025.
