Nigeria’s former captain, Joseph Yobo, was
yesterday unveiled as the ambassador of the Nigerian Football League by the
President of the World’s football governing body, FIFA, Mr. Gianni Infantino,
who is on a two-working days visit to Nigeria in Abuja.
Joseph Yobo, announcing this to his fans via his
Twitter handle, said, “Honored to be unveiled @LMCNPFL Ambassador by @FIFA
President Gianni Infantino. We must develop our Local League.”
The League Management Company is tapping the
experience and networks of the former Super Eagles and Everton FC Skipper to
promote the local league and make it more attractive.
He capped 101 times, represented the Super Eagles
at three FIFA World Cups and six Africa Cup of Nations tournaments (leading the
team to win the 2013 edition of the tournament in South Africa), before
announcing his retirement after the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
