Ibrahim Gyaran, medical doctor of the Senior National Football Team, Super Eagles, is off to London in a few days to be part of a capacity –enhancing sports science and medicine programme.
The programme, Football Medicine Strategies for Player Care and Science Football Summit, is organized by world football governing body, FIFA in conjunction with the
Isokinetic Group. Elated Gyaran on Thursday expressed appreciation to the National Sports Commission and the Nigeria Football Federation for facilitating his participation in the programme, and promised to use knowledge gained from the summit maximally for the development of Nigeria sports.
“I will ensure that the knowledge I acquire is used to impact positively on Nigeria sports. I am also aware, and delighted, that the thinking of the new NFF leadership is to see doctors and physiotherapists working with the National Teams transfer some of their knowledge to the medics at the clubsides.
“This is commendable and I will be looking forward to sharing some of the knowledge I have and will soon acquire with colleagues at the clubs.”
The Sports Medicine and Science Summit will hold at the Queen Elizabeth Conference Centre in London April 11-13, 2015.
