CHAN 2016: Oliseh Lied, He Didn’t Spend His Own $4,000 To Feed Super Eagles Players – NFF

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has denied reports that coach Sunday Oliseh spent $4,000 of his personal money, to feed players of the Super Eagles squad, during their training in Pretoria, South Africa.

In a related development, the Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh was also issued a query to explain why the team crashed out at the group stage of the African Nations Championship. He was asked to explain the damning comments he made to the press after the defeat to Guinea

Oliseh had ealier claimed in an interview that lack of motivation was behind their poor performance at the tournament.

But General Secretary of NFF, Dr. Sanusi Mohammed, in his reaction said: “It is not true that Oliseh spent his hard earned $4,000 to feed the team in their Pretoria camp before CHAN. We are not aware of that.

“We paid for their camping at the South African High Performance training centre in Pretoria and this also covered lodging and feeding for the two weeks the team spent there. We had no report from the centre of not feeding them properly, so how did he spend his money to feed the team?”
