Pinnick: Eagles Do Not Need Distractions Now Ahead World Cup Qualifiers
Amidst doubts about the Super Eagles' ability to advance in the ongoing African Nations Championship, former NFF President Amaju Pinnick urged Nigerians to remain positive and supportive. Pinnick emphasized the need for prayers and encouragement for the team as they prepare for the World Cup qualifiers.
The Eagles are currently in fourth place in their group, trailing behind South Africa and facing a three-point deduction for fielding an ineligible player. Pinnick stressed the importance of a positive atmosphere around the team, citing the success of the Super Falcons in the WAFCON competition as an example of the power of support and encouragement.
He commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his support and highlighted the need for a reward system to motivate Nigerian athletes. Pinnick's message is clear: the Eagles need positivity and support to succeed in their upcoming matches.
