Glo to Eagles: Dim Harambee Stars

The major sponsor of the Nigerian national teams, Globacom, has tasked the Super Eagles to go for total victory against the Harambee Stars of Kenya when both sides clash in the crucial World Cup 2014 qualifier in Nairobi on Wednesday.
The Super Eagles, who were held to a 2-2 draw by Mexico in a friendly game at the weekend, need outright win against Kenya to boost their chance of qualifying for the Brazil 2014 World Cup.
“Playing draw with Mexico was not a bad outing but the Kenyan match is a must-win and we believe the Eagles can do it,” Globacom said in a statement in Lagos on Monday.
The Eagles also need the victory in Nairobi to boost their morale ahead of another crucial away match to Namibia on June 12, which they equally need to win to realistically move towards Brazil 2014.
According Globacom, Nigeria cannot afford to take her leg off the pedal at this moment, especially as the World Cup group remains competitive.
“We wish to advise the team to remain focused for the task ahead while we enjoin the Nigeria Football Federation and the entire nation not to waver in their support and prayer for the Eagles,” the statement further said.
Nigeria is joint Group F leader with Malawi on five points, although Nigeria is more superior on goals aggregate, while Namibia trails on three points as Kenya rocks the table bottom with two points.
Globacom is the major partner of the Nigeria Football Federation and official sponsor of the Nigeria national teams.
