DR Peter Singabele, board member of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, could not believe his eyes at the excellent facilities at the Teslim Balogun Stadium during the final of the Federation Cup which Enyimba won at the expense of Sharks of Port Harcourt.

Captain Victor Ezeji is lamenting Sharks’ inability to win a major silverware since the inception of the Port Harcourt based outfit, many years ago.

The Nigeria Football Federation announced yesterday that Warri Wolves, which finished 4th in the Nigeria Premier League in the recently-ended season, will fly Nigeria’s flag in next year’s CAF Confederation Cup.
