As the Super Eagles prepare for their crucial semi-final against South Africa, a non-governmental organisation, 100% Focus Nigeria, has stepped up to show their support by donating jerseys for fans.
Ahead of Wednesdayβs match at Stade de la Paix in Bouake, the groupβs chairman, Ibrahim Mohammed, presented the jerseys to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). βThis gesture is a token from our group,β he said, βand we encourage the Super Eagles to not just deliver the final ticket but also the trophy to unite Nigerians.β
Mr Mohammed urged Nigerians to stay solidly behind the team and can βrestore the confidence we have in the Super Eagles.β He expressed optimism for victory, believing they can βcruise to the final.β
While confident, Mr Mohammed cautioned against underestimating South Africa. βTake this match as your final,β he advised the players. βTheir local league may surpass ours in popularity and infrastructure, but our experience brings victory. Donβt be complacent β attack and score early, avoiding penalties.β
Singling out Victor Osimhen, he said, βPersonally, I want Victor Osimhen to just get things right tomorrow (today) and if he canβt score, other people will score.β
βThough Jose Peseiro team is showing us that any body can score and our defense also have only conceded a goal but South Africa keeper, Williams is very good, so we should not be dragging the match into penalties, we should just get it right from the beginning and score as many we could so Nigeria and Nigerians would be highly unitedβ
Mr Mohammed noted that beyond the success of the Super Eagles a lot of work still needs to be done in revamping the domestic league to make it lucrative as obtained in other part of the world.
