President, Nigeria Olympic Committee, Engr Sani Ndanusa has said that Nigerian contingent to the forthcoming London 2012 Olympic Games will be incomplete without the Nigeria U23 football team.<\/p>\n
The nation’s men football team, the Dream Team V will kick off their Olympics ticket chase on Saturday against hosts, Morocco in Tangier at the Caf Under 23 Championship.<\/p>\n
The former Sports minister told SuperSport.com that the Olympic family considers the football ticket as the most essential qualification.<\/p>\n
“The biggest qualification that we are concerned with at the Olympic Committee is that of football.<\/p>\n
“I can’t see London 2012 with Team Nigeria without football because of the position of football in Nigeria, the fellowship and political value.<\/p>\n
“We have already directed our technical committee chairman to be present in Morocco to monitor events and to contribute within the Olympic capacity to this qualification.<\/p>\n
“It is only when a team qualified that it becomes our property but this one is big, so we want to start working on how to get the property to us.”<\/p>\n
