NFF: Nigeria want Sidney Sam to play at the Confederations Cup
Sam, 25, who plays for Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen, was born to a German mother and Nigerian father.
He has not played for Germany at full international level, making him eligible to play for the reigning African champions.
But he is waiting for Fifa to approve his nationality switch.
"It's 80% sorted, so we believe clearance can be obtained before the competition in Brazil." - NFF spokesman Ademola Olajire
The NFF is now intensifying its efforts to have Sam available for the tournament in Brazil.
