Spanish embassy denies Future Eagles visa for U16 championship
Nigeria’s Future Eagles have pulled out of the forthcoming UEFA U-16 development tournament after the Spanish embassy denied them visa to travel for the competition.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) announced the team’s withdrawal from the competition in a tweet on Monday.
“Players and officials of the Nigeria U15 team, Future Eagles, have been denied visas by the Spanish Embassy and will therefore not be travelling to participate in the UEFA U-16 Development Tournament starting on Friday,” the tweet reads.
The UEFA U-16 development tournament is an annual competition featuring four national teams. The tournament is focused on the development of young talents.
Although the competition is organised by UEFA, non-European nations are also invited to participate.
The 2024 edition is billed to be held at the Pinatar Arena Football Centre in San Pedro del Pinatar, Murcia, Spain.
According to NFF, the Future Eagles were given a “special invitation” to the tournament “as a result of Nigeria’s pedigree in youth football”.
The team was expected to leave for Spain ahead of the competition on Tuesday. They were scheduled to play Belgium in their first game on Friday before facing Italy and England in the other two matches.
Last month, the Future Eagles, coached by Patrick Bassey, travelled to Morocco in preparation for the tournament before returning to Nigeria to continue training for another week at the Remo Stars’ Sports Institute in Ikenne.
Earlier this year, the Super Eagles’ planned friendly match against Argentina in the US was also cancelled due to visa problems.

Ko ni da fun Spanish Embassy.
OCCUPY NFF!!
Re: Spanish embassy denies Future Eagles visa for U16 championship
...how come they don't give the reason for canceled visa?
Embassy don't deny you entry just like that, there must be a reason.
The shady characters of our people must have loomed large.

And the camp in Morocco. Shame.

Re: Spanish embassy denies Future Eagles visa for U16 championship
Apparently, one of the passports submitted was that of a player over 16, and that cast doubts in the mind of the Spanish Embassy. I believe the foreign ministry should intervene and sort it out with the Spanish Embassy
I am happy

I suspected we messed up again. Not surprised if this is true.

Most denied visas are not due to "shady characters". And yes, sometimes they give no reason or give vague or frivolous reasons.

Re: Spanish embassy denies Future Eagles visa for U16 championship
Nigerian athletes and their supporters often complain about being denied visas by other countries, even when they say they have fulfilled all the visa requirements.
In February, Nigeria's national football team pulled out of a planned friendly match against Argentina, which was to be held in the US, after the Nigerian players failed to secure visas on time.

Revamp this HS extravaganza and restructure it under the current political arrangement in the country. Then expand it to cover the W. African region if they are interested. It was a veritable way to motivate and discover talent while also populating the social calendar. BTW, it doesn't have to be an NFF affair - cotporations can sponsor them.

Re: Spanish embassy denies Future Eagles visa for U16 championship
They should have just denied the player in question. They knew what they were doing. Thank God it appears to be sorted now.
Re: Spanish embassy denies Future Eagles visa for U16 championship
Is this confirmed?
I pray so.

Re: Spanish embassy denies Future Eagles visa for U16 championship
Agreed, our people are too quick to blame it on ourselves, whereas we absolve the spanish embassy of incompetence at the very least and sonething sinister at worst. The story doesnt add up.
For my sceptical Nigerian Friends : Pessimism is great because you are either always right or pleasantly surprised.

Re: Spanish embassy denies Future Eagles visa for U16 championship
They are quite incompetent even in London. Before I got my UK passport I was a big Schengen client. My worst experience was with Spain...I even wrote them to keep their visa and return my passport. They still sent the passport and visa late.

Re: Spanish embassy denies Future Eagles visa for U16 championship
So did the players get the visas or not?
That’s all I’m interested in.
