Nigeria should emulate Qatar to host FIFA World Cup – Mouktar
The Chairman of the FCT Football Association, Alhaji Adam Mouktar Mohammed, has said Nigeria should emulate Qatar to be able to host the FIFA World Cup.
Speaking to our correspondent yesterday before the third place match between Morocco and Croatia, Mouktar said Nigeria is known as a football superpower across the world and should tap into the economic and sporting benefits that will be derived from hosting the mundial.
“Qatar has the vision and Nigeria should have the vision that we can host the world. The belief is the first and we begin to plan.
“We should aspire to host the world and plan for it within 10-15 years where we can promote our country, culture as there will be economic and sporting benefits. Most people know Nigeria as a football superpower. My biggest dream is to see Nigeria win the World Cup,” he said.
He also hailed the tournament as a world class World Cup that has helped erase the wrong assumptions about Qatar.
“From a personal point of view, I think I am impressed with the way Qatar has hosted the world. They have set a standard for a future World Cup and for them being able to pass the insinuations, assumptions as a lot of people didn’t know about the country and that’s the beauty of football. It unifies and we can promote a lot of good things through football. It is a world class world cup,” he concluded
