The Nigeria Football Federation has opened a three-day window for applications to fill the position of head coach for the national beach soccer team otherwise known as the Supersand Eagles, nine days before their 2024 Beach Soccer AFCON qualifier against Mauritania.
This also comes after the NFF made a move to revive the team after five years by setting up a committee to oversee the organisation of local competitions and deal with all matters relating to the game.
Nigeria’s last beach soccer coach, Audu Adamu Ejo who led the team to their second Beach Nations Cup title in 2009 passed on in 2021 after a brief illness.
As contained in the NFF’s announcement, the application will favour candidates with at least a CAF License C certificate and those involved in beach soccer activities in the last three years as well as playing experience locally and internationally.
The Nigeria Football Federation has requested applications from suitably qualified candidates for the vacant position of the coach of Beach Soccer national team, otherwise known as Supersand Eagles,” the NFF announced on Wednesday
