A major sponsor of the Super Eagles, Globacom has advised the Nigerian national team to conquer all oppositions in Group B of the African qualifying zone and pick one of the continents’ five tickets to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
Similarly, NFF factional leader, Mr. Christopher Giwa has expressed confidence that the Super Eagles will qualify from the group regarded as a group of death.
“The draw has been concluded and preparation towards a successful campaign in Group B must begin in earnest,” Globacom said.
“All Nigerians must come together to support the Super Eagles to triumph over their opponents in Group B in order to ensure the nation’s qualification for its 6th World Cup. Apart from winning all home matches and amassing the nine points available, the Eagles’ technical crew must work assiduously towards picking points on away matches to ensure that Nigeria tops the group that has generally been referred to as ‘ group of death,” the statement further said.
Giwa said the nation’s football fortune is currently on the decline and Nigerians cannot afford another Nations Cup miss after the pain of missing out in next year’s African Cup of Nations in Gabon and the 2015 edition in Equatorial Guinea.
In the draw which was conducted on Friday, Nigeria’s Super Eagles were grouped alongside Algeria, Cameroun and Zambia national sides in Group B.
Group A will feature Tunisia, Libya, Congo DR and Guinea while Gabon, Mali, Ivory Coast and Morocco will lock horns in Group C.
In Group D Senegal will face the trio of South Africa, Burkina Faso and Cape Verde for the group’s ticket while Ghana, Egypt, Congo and Uganda will trade tackles in group E.
