The Nigerian Football Federation has urged Nigerians to come out in massive numbers and support the Super Eagles ahead of their crucial World Cup qualifying match against Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on Tuesday.
Eric Chelle’s Super Eagles emerged victorious against Rwanda last Friday to breathe some life into their previously crumbling qualification hopes and they will now be looking to consolidate on a comfortable 2-0 triumph in Kigali with another win on home soil.
The Warriors of Zimbabwe will arrive Uyo in desperate need of a result as they are currently rooted to the bottom of group C, with their World Cup dreams barely hanging by a thread. If they fail to secure victory in Tuesday’s game, a chance at reaching the Mundial will officially be beyond their reach.
Ahead of the all-important clash, the NFF has called out to football fans all over the country to turn up en masse and show their support for the national team as the Super Eagles look to build on their success from the game against Rwanda.
“We are calling on Nigerians to come out in large numbers to support the Super Eagles on Tuesday,” the NFF wrote.
“The team needs the support. When we played Rwanda in Kigali on Friday, the Rwandans filled up the Amahoro Stadium to its full capacity. Let our people also come out in throngs and cheer the Eagles.
“We are also appealing to fans to come to the stadium in Nigerian colours. Let us fill up the stadium in green and white colours, and drum and dance to support the team.”
A win for the Super Eagles in Uyo will improve their standing in group C and could potentially see them climb as high as second place depending on the results of other teams in the group
