Eagles set to soar



    Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, says the Super Eagles will be ready for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa next month.


   The Eagles will have stern tests in the next two months as the qualifiers for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2018 Fifa World Cup kick into gear.

   South Africa will provide the first test as Nigeria attempt to make it back into the Africa Cup of Nations after missing the last two editions while Cameroon will be up next for the Eagles as the qualifiers for the World Cup resume in August.

  Speaking with newsmen on the preparedness of the team, NFF’s spokesman, Ademola Olajire, said the Federation is doing everything possible to make sure Nigeria qualify for the Nations Cup and the World Cup.

   The Technical and Development Committee is also working hand in hand with Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr to get the team ready. Rohr has also been given a free hand to pick a list of players he wants.

   Nigeria are top of Group B of the Africa zone of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier with maximum points from two games and will face Cameroon in the next Match Day in August at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo.
