FIFA Endorses Falcons Jerseys By Wale Ajimotokan International football governing body FIFA has cleared the coast for the Super Falcons to make use of their official adidas strip for the Olympics beginning on Friday. They will, however, kick off their soccer campaign against Japan on Saturday. FIFA and the International Olympic Organisation (IOC) had according to reports, observed that the Falcons jerseys were not in line with official specifications. But the spokesman of the Nigeria Football Association (NFA) Samuel Kaalu last night disclosed that FIFA had soft pedalled on the Falcons equipment after the Head of Female Football at NFA Lizzy Onyenwenwa clarified issues with FIFA from the Falcons training camp in Germany. According to Kaalu a FIFA officer Walter Sibel yesterday morning in a fax to Abuja said the observations noted in the Falcons jersey design were not enough to vitiate the entire kits. "FIFA has clarified that there is no problem with the design. Rather an observation was made in respect of the logo on the shirt, which in any case was the observation made about all the teams branded by adidas to the football event. The issue has been resolved," Kaaalu said Who Are We ? | About THISDAYOnLine.com | THISDAY People | Contact Us © Copyright 2000 Leaders & Company Limited
