As the crucial 2022 FIFA World Cup final play-off between Nigeria and Ghana scheduled to hold in Accra, Ghana and Abuja respectively, nears, members of the Nigeria Football Supporters Club (NFSC) have appealed to all Nigerians to close ranks and give maximum support to the Super Eagles.
The Super Eagles would play away to the Black Stars on March, 25 before the reverse fixture at the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja, March, 29.
National Chairman of the NFSC, Reverend Samuel Ikpea, revealed that such united support from sports-loving Nigerians would guarantee Super Eagles qualification for the World Cup.
“As the ultimate face and father of Nigeria football supportership, the NFSC want the corporate world, sports philanthropists, and other genuine stakeholders to rally round the Super Eagles through ensuring massive support.
We are not only being sidelined, APC Ghana protest
” The Supporters Club needs adequate moral and financial support to enable thousands of our members to be at the Cape Coast Stadium on March, 25. There is a need for adequate travel arrangements from those who truly love Nigerian football. We have the pedigree to make Super Eagles feel at home before, during, and after the match in Cape Coast”, said Ikpea who said that focus should shift from monetary promise to Super Eagles in hotel rooms to mobilising Supporters Club adequately.
While predicting a Super Eagles success over Ghana in the world Cup ticket quest, Ikpea revealed that plans are underway for a friendly game between NFSC and their Ghanian counterparts in Accra on March 22, 2022.
He said the friendly game is to promote the sporting relationship between both countries before the World Cup qualifiers.
Meanwhile, Ghana Football Supporters Union President, Abraham Boakye has said they are ready for Nigeria.
