Barcelona, Real Madrid to tour Nigeria – La Liga Chief
It is pursuant
to the 5-year Memorandum of Understanding between the League
Management Company of Nigeria (LMC) and the Spanish league organizers.
Tebas, who
described the bilateral agreement as a win-win venture for both countries, said
Nigerian stars have been plying their trade in La Liga for a while and this
could only increase the Nigerian presence in their clubs.
He also
mentioned the already scheduled game between the Nigerian Premier League all-stars
with their Spanish counterparts next week in Spain, which according to him,
could prove enormously beneficial to both countries.
While
responding, Chairman of the LMC and first vice president of the Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF), Mallam Shehu Dikko, said they chose to partner La
Liga because it is the best league in the world and affords tremendous
opportunities.
Dikko, who
stated that the collaborative venture is already yielding results as a number
of African leagues aim to emulate the model, called for all hands to be on deck
as Nigerian football is lifted to its true place.
