NFF Supremo Touch Down In Brazil

The President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Alhaji Aminu Maigari, arrived in Sao Paulo, ahead of the Super Eagles' World Cup campaign.
 
Stephen Keshi's men begin their tournament with a tie against Iran on June 16, and Maigari was satisfied with the teams build-up and assured the Nigerians the team will do well.
 
“I want to assure Nigerians at home and in the diaspora that the Super Eagles will not disappoint in Brazil,” said Maigari 
 
“For sure, our people would have wanted the team to win the matches against Italy, Mexico, Scotland, Greece and USA. But we drew the first four and lost the last one.
 
“I have spoken with the Head Coach and he is optimistic that his boys will be ready for the finals. The earlier draws, and the loss to Team USA have afforded our boys a lot of lessons, which will be useful against Iran in the first match and subsequently.
 
“I have confidence in the team. From what I saw at the final training camp in USA, I believe the African champions are set to do Nigeria and Africa proud at the FIFA World Cup.”
