Nigeria has a team for 2022 and 2026 World Cup – Pinnick

Nigeria Football Federation President, Amaju Pinnick says the Super Eagles have the players to do Nigeria proud at the 2022 and 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Pinnick made this comments after the Super Eagles narrowly lost 3-2 to Atletico Madrid in Tuesday’s GOTV Max Cup at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.

 “We are confident that from the preparatory plan that we have put together for the Super Eagles leading to the finals in Russia, and having taken care of off-field matters that may cause distraction, the team will do Nigeria proud in Russia.

“Looking at the team that just played Atletico Madrid, it gladdens my heart to see that after Russia, we certainly have the players that will also do us proud in 2022 and even 2026.”
