Balogun lnsists Home-Based Players Deserve Encouragement With The Super Eagles.
General Manager, Shooting Stars Football Club of Ibadan, Rasheed Balogun has thrown his weight behind the home-based players inclusion into the Super Eagles.
The astute and experienced football administrator feels the Local League players will do well if encouraged and given the same respect as their foreign counterparts.
The former Sunshine Stars of Akure Manager told Family United by Football (FUBF) a popular sports Forum in Nigeria that all the local based players need to attain greatness with the Super Eagles is encouragement.
" I must say we have a lot of talented players in the Nigerian league who are good enough to play for Nigeria at the national level. He told FUBF.
" If given supports and encouragement would give as much as the foreign based players.
" If Stephen Keshi can give the home based players a chance and he succeeded in lifting the African Cup of Nations, I don't see any reason why the present coach shouldn't encourage the local players by giving them equal opportunity with the Super Eagles. He concluded.
Rasheed Balogun is one of the few Nigerian Football administrators who have carved a niche for themselves over the years having worked and contributed his quota to the development of the following clubs Stationary Stores, Julius Berger FC of Lagos, Sunshine Stars of Akure, Dolphins FC of Porthacourt and now Shooting Stars FC.
