“Super Eagles are going to compete favourably at the World Cup” – Maigari

President of
the Nigeria
Football
Federation,
NFF Aminu
Maigari has
declared that
despite
drawing
former World
Cup
champions,
Argentina, Iran
and Bosnia-Herzegovina in next year's World Cup
in Brazil, the Super Eagles will prove their worth as
African champions.
The last time the Super Eagles competed at the
World Cup as African champions was in their
maiden appearance at the USA '94 tournament and
the Nigerians shocked the World with their football
artistry. The Clemens Westerhof tutored team got
to the second round and were only undone by
inexperience as they lost narrowly to Italy after a
last minute error.

Drawing from that experience, NFF President,
Maigari said the Eagles will not be intimidated by
any team as Stephen Keshi will be taking a well
prepared and exposed team to the Mundial.
"The Super Eagles are going to compete favourably
at the World Cup. We won't just be going there to
complete the number. We are going there to
compete as strong contenders.
We will give it our best shot."
He said that in keeping with what has become a
tradition with his executive, the football house will
source funds to ensure the team is given adequate
camping period, enough friendly matches and
adequate resources to pursue the World Cup
project.
"All hands must be on deck because in all the
competitions we have taken part in, we have
always harped on adequate preparations and our
teams have always gone out there to justify our
investments in them. Brazil 2014 will not be an
exception," Maigari said.
