Players and officials of the Nigeria U-15 team also known as the Future Eagles, have been denied visa by the Spanish Embassy to take part in the UEFA U-16 Development Tournament starting on Friday.
This was made known by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
A post on the Federation’s X handle read, “Players and officials of the Nigeria U15 team, Future Eagles, have been denied visas by the Spanish Embassy and will therefore not be travelling to take part in the UEFA U16 Development Tournament starting on Friday.”
The players and officials were supposed to fly into Spain on Tuesday (Today) afternoon for the tournament to which the African giants have been invited.
The statement did not state what reason had been given for the visa denials.
The Spanish authorities have also not yet commented on the visa refusal to the Nigerian team.
