Felix Owolabi, an ex-international, on Friday described the decision of world football governing body FIFA to take over the affairs of CAF as an embarrassment to the continent. Owolabi told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos State that it was a development that should not be coming at this point in time. NAN reports that FIFA in agreement with CAF arrived at the decision as a result of allegations of corruption and administrative hiccups. “I believe they know what they need to do, but they need to believe in themselves and be confident against any team. “They have a lot to prove and I’m rooting for them,’’ the member of Nigeria’s 1980 AFCON-winning team said.
