Nigeria's Super Eagles meet with NFF president before clash with South Africa
Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) President Amaju Pinnick is optimistic that the Super Eagles will cross the South African hurdle on Wednesday.
The Super Eagles face Wednesday's Bafana Bafana in the quarter-finals of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
Pinnick, who is also chair of the local organizing committee of the 2019 CAN, visited the team on Tuesday and reminded the 2013 champions of the importance of winning a football match.
"I trust this team and what you are capable of doing. I'm just here to emphasize again that tomorrow's game is very, very important. Football is the most important unifying factor known among our peoples, beyond physical and mental boundaries. Victory will further strengthen our unity.
"Every time you play and win, our country is united and people forget all their differences in different forms and celebrate together. I want you to take your chances and minimize individual mistakes in the back and midfield. "
Pinnick, who is also the first vice-president of CAF, then presented the $ 75,000 promised to the team by the official partner of NFF, the AITEO group, for their three goals against Cameroon at the the round of 16 in Alexandria, while baduring them that the promise of the player made by Captain Hosea Wells Okunbo would be bought before the match on Wednesday.
