“Keshi must return to Nigeria by Monday if he likes his job” – NFF angry with Eagles coach

Emeka Inyama, a board member of the Nigeria Football Federation, has stated that Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi, has travelled to the US without permission and must return from his California base by Monday.
The former Mali and Togo boss left the country and failed to attend the meeting of the technicak committee and the NFF have asked him to return and answer a query.
“Keshi has been recalled and he must be in Abuja on Monday if he still cares about his job,” Inyama said.
He also noted that Keshi was notified about the meeting, but still chose to leave.
“Keshi was formally invited to the Technical and Development Committee meeting [on Tuesday] to discuss, among other issues, the list of players he released for the matches ahead, his back room staff and misunderstanding between him and some of his players.

“But Keshi did not show up and [the NFF] doesn’t know why he did not show up. The fact remains that Keshi applied for a leave to see his family and it has not been approved or confirmed and he travelled. The NFF wants him to be part of all the discussions affecting his team with the committee before he would be allowed to proceed to the US for his holiday, but he chose to leave without permission.

Confed Cup: Brazil not ready for Eagles, others – FIFA

FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke conceded on Friday that Brazil will not complete its preparations in time for the Confederations Cup and warned that compromises “will be impossible” ahead of next year’s World Cup.
Valcke’s comments came on the day Brazilian organisers delivered the third of the six stadiums that will be used in the warm-up tournament, which begins on June 15.
“The next few weeks will be an acid test for the host cities, the local organising committee, the federal government and Fifa on the final lap of preparations for the Fifa Confederations Cup,” Valcke said in his latest column published on Fifa’s website. “We are all working together tirelessly against the clock to make sure that the facilities will be ready to host a world-class tournament in two months.”
After a series of delays, the Arena Fonte Nova was finally opened Friday in the northeastern city of Salvador, and Valcke said local organisers have promised to deliver the remaining three venues by the end of the month.
