Ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, the Nigeria Football federation (NFF) has reiterated its earlier warning to corporate organisations against any form of infringement around the Super Eagles.
NFFThe NFF added that the fresh directive became necessary given the fact that Nigeria Breweries Plc has been queried over what it called ‘deliberate infringement on the rights of its sponsors to the Nigeria Super Eagles, Guinness Nigeria Plc.
It added that on Monday it wrote to the leading brewer through its General Secretary, Barrister Musa Amadu, decrying the fact that the said firm “had launched communication materials across Nigeria featuring ex-players of the Super Eagles giving the impression that it was an official sponsor of the team”.
The NFF’s letter to the brewer further read “we have equally noticed other outdoor materials with un-named faces in green and white jerseys all in an attempt to associate with the Super Eagles’ participation at the forthcoming FIFA World Cup finals in Brazil, and gain undue advantage.
“We declare that this is nothing but blatant market ambushing and this is not only uncalled –for, but highly unprofessional.”
