WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS

The Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, has felicitated with the Super Eagles for starting their 2022 World Cup campaign with 2-0 victory over Lone Star of Liberia last Friday in Lagos.

Dare applauded the team for displaying football mastery and cohesion which reflected in their dominance and deserved victory over the Liberians

“This is a brilliant start. I enjoyed the game. The players and the technical crew did us proud. We have to take this momentum to the next game against Cape Verde on Tuesday.

“The players gave their best on the pitch. They soared like the super eagles that they are, defended the honour of Nigeria with pride and made all of us happy. They showed class.”

Nigeria’s winning start has put the Super Eagles in control of the Group C after the opening day fixtures. Eagles are already two points clear on the log after the other group game played on Thursday between Cape Verde and Central African Republic ended in a 1-1 draw.
