The
new Ambassador of Argentina to Nigeria, Gustavo Dzugala is seeking
closer ties between Nigeria and Argentina in the area of football.
He made the proposal on Thursday
during a courtesy visit to the President of the Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF), Alhaji Aminu Maigari at the Glass House in Abuja.
Dzugala,
who assumed his new position last month, called for a closer working
relationship between the two countries’ national as well as club teams.
“Our
two countries can definitely explore more ways of collaboration and
friendship in football, because both are very strong, powerful nations
in the game," he said.
Maigari stated that the NFF was open to more collaboration between Nigeria and Argentina in the game.
"A
former Board Member of Nigeria Football Federation, Barrister Chive
Kaave, is the Ambassador of Nigeria to Argentina, and we have also
discussed several ways of further collaboration. With your coming, we
will activate most of the possible areas and bring them to fruition," he
said.
Nigeria play Argentina in Group F of the FIFA World Cup in Brazil on June 25, and tickets for the match in Porto Alegre have sold out.
