The Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the Arab Republic of Egypt, Prof. Dandatti Abdulkadir, has urged players and officials of the Super Eagles to strive to be worthy representatives of the country while fighting for her pride during the 32nd Africa Cup of Nations finals in Egypt.
Super Eagles Coach Gernot Rohr on Tuesday listed midfielder Mikel John Obi, Ahmed Musa and 23 others in a 25-man squad to prepare for the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Egypt.
The Eagles returned to their Sanatorium Istochnik Hotel in Essentuki on Saturday having no illusions that Tuesday’s match will be a piece of cake
The final group tie will determine further interest at the World Cup finals.
The Super Eagles must from the blast of the whistle, play as a functional cohesive unit against the Vatreni to stand a chance of getting a victory or a draw against the equally ambitious Eastern European team. A draw will even suffice.
Russia 2018 is Obi’s second FIFA World Cup, though it would have been number four if head-to-head voodoo had not been employed for the 2006 qualifiers, and he had not missed the 2010 finals due to injury.
The names of the players that made the list were posted on the official national team Twitter handle: @NGSuperEagles
All invited players are expected to arrive in a camp in Morocco on November 6
The list was made available on Tuesday morning on the website of the Nigeria Football Federation
