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 Wednesdayโs match at Stade de la Paix in Bouake, the groupโs chairman, Ibrahim Mohammed, presented the jerseys to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). โThis gesture is a token from our group,โ he said, โand we encourage the Super Eagles to not just deliver the final ticket but also the trophy to unite Nigerians.โ
Mr Mohammed urged Nigerians to stay solidly behind the team and can โrestore the confidence we have in the Super Eagles.โ He expressed optimism for victory, believing they can โcruise to the final.โ
While confident, Mr Mohammed cautioned against underestimating South Africa. โTake this match as your final,โ he advised the players. โTheir local league may surpass ours in popularity and infrastructure, but our experience brings victory. Donโt be complacent โ attack and score early, avoiding penalties.โ
Singling out Victor Osimhen, he said, โPersonally, I want Victor Osimhen to just get things right tomorrow (today) and if he canโt score, other people will score.โ
โThough 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 unitedโ
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.
