Nigerian
national team, Super Eagles have been advised to work assiduously towards
defeating the Pharaoh’s of Egypt when the two teams lock horns at Ahmadu Bello
Stadium in Kaduna on Friday.
Sponsor of
Nigerian national teams, Globacom, in a press statement in Lagos on Thursday,
urged the Super Eagles to defeat the Egyptians not only in Kaduna, but also on
their home soil in Alexandria, Egypt, adding that victory during the round
robin encounter will automatically qualify the team for the 2017 AFCON in
Gabon.
“It is
important to go for victory in this encounter to help the team gain confidence
ahead of the crucial second leg in Cairo which will ultimately determine which
of the two teams will qualify from Group D,” Glo added.
Globacom
charged the team to go the extra mile and re-enact the “can-do spirit” and
determination which Nigeria is known for and which have helped the nation to
win many trophies in the past, including the 2013 African Cup of Nations in
South Africa.
While
advising the technical crew to field the fittest players who can withstand the
pressure associated with matches of this magnitude, the company urged the
entire team to give their best and ensure that they outclass the Egyptians
during the two-legged encounter to make qualification for AFCON less
cumbersome.
“The Super
Eagles should make Nigerians happy by qualifying for the next African Cup of
Nations in Gabon. The team needs to start building its way back to reckoning in
African Football,” the statement concluded.
Globacom is
the official telecommunications partner of the Nigeria Football Federation and
the major sponsor of the Nigerian national teams.
