The new Ambassador of Argentina to Nigeria, Gustavo Dzugala is seeking closer ties between Nigeria and Argentina in the area of football.
He made the proposal on Thursday during a courtesy visit to the President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Aminu Maigari at the Glass House in Abuja.
Dzugala, who assumed his new position last month, called for a closer working relationship between the two countries’ national as well as club teams.
“Our two countries can definitely explore more ways of collaboration and friendship in football, because both are very strong, powerful nations in the game," he said.
Maigari stated that the NFF was open to more collaboration between Nigeria and Argentina in the game.
"A former Board Member of Nigeria Football Federation, Barrister Chive Kaave, is the Ambassador of Nigeria to Argentina, and we have also discussed several ways of further collaboration. With your coming, we will activate most of the possible areas and bring them to fruition," he said.
Nigeria play Argentina in Group F of the FIFA World Cup in Brazil on June 25, and tickets for the match in Porto Alegre have sold out.
