Ideye Slams NPFL Quality After CHAN Exit: “We Are Not Good Enough”

Former Super Eagles striker Brown Ideye has blasted both the CHAN Eagles and the NPFL as not good enough.

The CHAN Eagles crashed out of the 2024 CHAN after they trounced 4-0 by Sudan Tuesday night in Zanzibar.

Ideye, who played in the Premier League and Ligue 1, was damning in his assessment of the domestic league.

“We are not where we think we are in football and the game against Sudan proved that,” said the striker, who won the 2013 AFCON with the Super Eagles.

“The infrastructure has to be right, the clubs are not run professionally, we need to work with younger talents and the level of the league is not good enough.

“The coach only worked with what he had for the CHAN.”

Ideye recently lashed out at the unprofessional way his last Nigerian club Enyimba treated him and the rest of the team.
