No final tickets for supporters club

eaglesNigeria Football Supporters Club members are not likely to watch the final of the Nations Cup this evening because they have been unable to get match tickets.
President-general of the club Rafiu Ladipo alleged on Saturday that the Local Organising Committee of the tournament had failed to honour its agreement with the Nigeria Football Federation to issue about 2000 tickets to its supporters for the match.
“The agreement was that each federation involved in a match would get at least 2000 tickets. But we are asking for around 300, which is far lower than the promise but we have been told that all tickets have been sold on-line,” he said.
“This is a deliberate attempt to deny our team of the needed support from Nigerians which contravenes the CAF regulation on tickets sales. We travelled all the way from Nigeria to support our team but we are being denied of that responsibility even though we are playing in the final,” Ladipo added.
