Nigeria 2013

The Nigerians should have got the prize for travelling furthest to get to Bulawayo for PAUDC 2011. There are no direct flights from Zimbabwe to Nigeria so it took three days apparently!
However ... the tables will turn when Calibar, Nigeria hosts PAUDC 2013. Southern and East Africans get ready to trek! The tournament, true to its mission, will eventually take itself to every corner of the continent. We look forward to seeing Nigeria and plenty of other West African teams in 2013!
