The Chairman of the Federal Capital Territory Football Association Prefers Foreigners

The Chairman of the Federal Capital Territory Football Association, FCT FA, Adam Mouktar Mohammed has said Super Eagles manager, Gernot Rohr’s preference for foreign based players is because they are more qualitative when compared with local players. The Franco-German coach has been accused of undermining the talents in the domestic league as he hardly gives them the opportunity to fight for shirts in the Super Eagles. Consequently, most football analysts have continued to criticize and call on the former Gabonese national team coach to show more interest in players who are plying their trade in the Nigerian Professional Football League, NPFL. However, Mouktar Mohammed in a chat with Daily Trust yesterday said he believes Rohr does not have anything against local players but the quality he wants is not readily available in the Nigerian league.
