Denmark deny Nigerian friendly (22.02.2002)
Denmark will not face Nigeria in a pre-World Cup friendly, the Danish soccer association press officer Lars Berendt said.
"I can straight-forwardly say that no agreement has been made for a game, since we can`t find out who is Nigeria`s official agent in Europe," Berendt was quoted as saying in the Danish newspaper Ekstrabladet.
Nigerian sports minister Ishaya Mark Aku had said that Nigeria were to face Denmark, China and Ireland Republic in World Cup warm-up games.
Nigeria are drawn with England, Sweden and Argentina in the first round World Cup group.
Denmark face holders France, Uruguay and Senegal, also in the group phase.
The Nigerians recently fired their coach Amodu Shaibu and replaced him with Festus Onigbinde.
The new coach said he intends to purge the Nigerian squad of
players whose services are no longer needed.
Nations Cup
"Some of our players are long past their prime and I am surprised they are still in the team," Onigbinde said in an interview with Nigeria`s This Day newspaper.
He said he will take a younger and hungrier team to the World Cup in Korea and Japan.
Onigbinde, technical director of the Nigeria Football Association, did not say which players would be dropped.
The coach, in his second stint, is expected to name his squad next week.
Many Nigerians expect Onigbinde to drop, at least, half of the players that played in the African Nations Cup in Mali.
The Super Eagles lost 2-1 to Senegal in the semi-finals.
Nigeria reached the second round in their two previous World Cup finals appearances in 1994 and 1998.
