Ex-Super Eagles star Daniel Amokachi fired shots at Nigerian football bosses Tuesday in Abuja, demanding urgent pitch upgrades and infra overhauls across leagues—slamming subpar fields rubber-stamped for NNL games that hobble young talent just because better options don’t exist.
Post the NNL/Prostar/Sportslight Hub November Awards celebrating top players and coaches, Amokachi hailed progress like more away wins, goal fests and fatter prizes but insisted the league’s bedrock needs pro surfaces for safe development—blasting zero Super Eagles call-ups from domestic ranks due to weak promo starving exposure, while begging media hype, sponsor hunts, funding floods, punctuality and discipline to lure cash and global eyes.
As Nigeria’s football nursery, NNL must level up for sustained growth—Amokachi’s wake-up call spotlights how crap pitches kill dreams and scare investors in a talent-rich scene begging for shine.
