When asked about an existing beach soccer league to help players stay fit and stay competitive “There is no league,” he said. “But I heard they are working on one. So we are hoping they do so,” he added.

He then went further to explain what can be done to help better beach soccer activity in Nigeria and help the players stay active like other players around the world.

“We need more tournaments, a very good beach soccer league, experts to teach our coaches here tactics and technical aspects of beach soccer more. We also need players that can understand the difference between beach soccer and grass football,” Azeez said.

Having qualified for the World Cup, the centurion also spoke on what should be done by the Nigerian Football Federation in terms of preparation for the Super Sand Eagles to be able to complete globally with other teams.
