President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Aminu Maigari has described the outgoing year (2013) as an unforgettable year for Nigerian football. The Super Eagles of Nigeria won the 2013 African Cup of Nations in South Africa while the Golden Eaglets won the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup in the United Arab Emirate.
The men’s senior national team also qualified for its 5th FIFA World Cup appearance to cap off a successful year. Speaking with brilafm.net, Maigari acknowledged that 2013 will be a year to always remember.
“2013 is a very good year for the football family, a year that will never go out of our memory and a year that we will continue to think off and rejoice.”
The NFF hopes to build on the successes of 2013 in the forthcoming year with an eye on the 2014 CHAN trophy in South Africa. The competition kicks off on the 11th of January as Nigeria battles South Africa, Mali and Mozambique.
