Austria denies Super Eagles staff entry visa

The Embassy of Austria in Nigeria has denied key staff of the Super Eagles’ workforce entry visa into their country for the team’s final phase camping programme billed to begin on Sunday.

According to the NFF, several months ago, we concluded arrangements with the world –renowned Avita Resort in Bad Tatzmannsdorf, for the Eagles to put finishing touches to their World Cup program there. They are billed to be there before flying to Yessentuki, the team base camp at the World Cup, on 11th June.

Team Administrator Dayo Enebi Achor confirms that the lead physiotherapist, Nnaemeka Anozie and Equipment Manager, Chidi Ngoka, were denied visas by the Austrian Embassy in Abuja.

“We are stunned by the action of the Austrian Embassy. How will the team cope without the physiotherapist and the equipment manager? Everyone is disappointed with this,” Achor said.

NFF confirms that Anozie and Ngoka have been with the team for several years, including through the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying series, and are integral part of the Super Eagles’ family.

Another team official said: “this is a big shock. Someone like Chidi Ngoka has been with the team for several years and even attended the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cup tournaments. Anozie has been with the Eagles for many years as well, and earlier worked with the U17 National Team. Both of them have been to several countries in different continents. We don’t know the reason for this action by the Austrian Embassy.”
