The two football federations of Iraq and Nigeria have entered into a collaboration with the hope of giving their respective football sectors a facelift.
According to the NFF President, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa, Nigeria requires collaboration with other countries to ensure growth for Nigeria football, most especially at the grassroots.
“Our country has a solid pedigree in football, as well as over 200 million passionate football followers and stakeholders. We are aware of the fact that the people of Iraq are also very passionate about the game of football. It is important to seize the opportunity to explore areas of cooperation and collaboration that will benefit our two nations,” he said.
“Football is that big unifying factor that keeps getting bigger and stronger in holding the world together and assuming a greater role in international relations. It is also a soft power with a booming economy, and collaboration is needed to accomplish great things and attain higher levels.” he added.
