The experienced sports media professional and member of FCT chapter of Sports Writers Association of Nigeria brings more than 10 years of experience in sports journalism, broadcasting, commentary, event coverage and media management to the role.

He currently serves as Sports Manager at KAFTAN TV Abuja. He also worked with Nigeria Customs Broadcasting Network in Abuja, a position he has held since 2020.

The first leg is scheduled to take place in Kaduna on Saturday, with the return leg to follow.

Nigeria, one of Africa’s most successful beach soccer nations, will be seeking qualification for the continental tournament, with Olowookere expected to play a key role in strengthening the team’s media presence and communication with supporters and other stakeholders.

His appointment comes at an important stage for the Super Sand Eagles as they seek to build on their return to international competition and re-establish their standing in African beach soccer.
