Nigeria withdraw from AFCON Beach soccer

The Nigeria Super Sand Eagles will not be taking part at the 2022 Beach Soccer Africa Cup of Nations following the country’s withdrawal from the competition.

The withdrawal from the competition, it was gathered, was as a result of lack of funds.

The Super Sand Eagles had been drawn in Group A alongside Mozambique, Malawi and Morocco.
