In a recent interview with NFF TV, the Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, exuded optimism and enthusiasm, emphasizing the critical role of Nigerian support in propelling the team to success. “The message I have for Nigerians is just believe in the team, that is the only thing we need. With their support, we can go far,” Musa declared.
Highlighting the upbeat atmosphere within the team, Musa expressed the players’ eagerness and excitement as they prepare for their opening match against Equatorial Guinea on Sunday. He divulged, “Everybody is happy in camp, excited, just waiting for us to go to Abidjan for the start of the tournament.”
