Nigeria Men's Basketball Olympic Tour: Arrived by Low Cost Air on the Day of the Opening Ceremony The coach has been owed unpaid so far

Live Bar February 2 news Nigeria men's basketball team once beat the United States in last year's Olympic warm-up game, but achieved a record of 0 wins and 3 losses in the Olympic main event.

Today, TA reporter Joe Vardon, who traveled to Tokyo with team USA last year, wrote an article exposing the nigerian men's basketball team's dilemma at the Olympics.

Some of the teaching assistants who flew to Japan with the team arrived only to find that they had not qualified for the Olympic Games from the beginning. An assistant coach had to sleep on the team's training table without pillows and blankets. The coaching staff has not yet received the full salary, and the reimbursement of related expenses has not arrived.

Nigeria's first match was 7-15 against Australia on the 25th. They had planned to fly from San Francisco to Tokyo on the 19th, but the Nigerian Olympic Committee did not buy them a plane ticket until the 20th, and they did not rush to Tokyo until a few hours before the opening ceremony on July 23. And their flights weren't direct, they were connecting in Germany and it took a total of 30 hours to get to Tokyo. Everyone who spoke to Joe Vardon said the move was meant to save money.

After the players arrived, the team's equipment had not yet arrived. When the equipment arrived, the players found that everyone's equipment was the same size.

The day before the first match against Australia, they nearly missed the prescribed nucleic acid test. The players said no one had informed them of the need for testing.
