The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has announced that it has opened application for position of the Head Coach of the country’s Beach Soccer team also known as Super Sand Eagles.
This was disclosed by the Federation in a statement via its website on Wednesday evening.
Part of the statement titled “NFF calls for applications for position of Supersand Eagles’ Coach” reads, “The Nigeria Football Federation has requested for applications from suitably qualified candidates for the vacant position of the Coach of Beach Soccer National Team, otherwise known as Supersand Eagles.
“The public notice, which is on the Federation’s website has specified for candidates to have attended at least one beach soccer refresher course organised by the NFF, be conversant with, and abreast of, the ever-changing rules and dynamics of the game and possess at least CAF C Coaching License.
“A candidate must also have been involved in beach soccer activities in the last three years to be considered, while playing experience locally and internationally could prove to be an added advantage.
“Applications will close at midnight of Friday, 12th July 2024, with a successful candidate to be named in a matter of days, as the Supersand Eagles get set for a two-leg Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture against their counterparts from Mauritania.”
The NFF recently reinstated the National beach soccer team after few years of hiatus.
The first step taken by the Federation aimed at reviving the Beach soccer game in Nigeria was the setting up of a committee.
