The Super Eagles won the gold medal in Men's Football at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, but the success of that tournament has soared beyond football, Soccernet.ng reports.
The three-time AFCON Champions had a prolific squad in that competition, to which some argue is the greatest ever team produced by the Nation.
Stars like Daniel Amokachi, Nwankwo Kanu, Sunday Oliseh, Jay-Jay Okocha, and Celestine Babayaro were part of the team at the time.
Hollywood movie star, Timothée Chalamet, was recently spotted with his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, at the Shellona Beach in Saint-Tropez, France.
