Match Day! Super Eagles Remain Positive
Pictures and feelers obtained from Nigeria’s Super Eagles camp in Uyo, capital of Akwa Ibom State, indicate that the team has remained positive, less than three hours to kick off time of their match against their arch rival, The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon. The match is one of several matches lined up for this weekend, in Africa’s round of qualifiers for Russia 2018 World Cup.
Nigeria is currently leading Group B of the qualifiers where Cameroon, Zambia and Algeria also feature. LinCornellah’s blog brings you some of such pictures, as obtained from the Super Eagles’ twitter account (@NGSuperEagles) and the Nigeria Football Federation’s twitter account (@thenff), respectively.
See the pictures below:
