The President of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, has insisted that qualification for the 2022 FIFA World Cup is not negotiable and has charged Super Eagles players and the technical crew to ensure they deliver the tickets to Nigerians.
Pinnick confirmed to Federation top officials, and the technical crew meeting held with the players in London, while Sports Minister, Sunday Dare spoke to the players through zoom.
“It was me, the team secretary, the coach and technical adviser of the team. The Ministry of Youth and Sports Development, led by the Honourable Minister, Sunday Dare also had a zoom meeting with over 30 players of the Super Eagles squad,” he said.
Amaju Pinnick stressed further: “ Aside the chance to introduce the new members of the coaching crew to the team, it was also a chance to have “clear the air” talks. And I’m so proud of the committment and zeal I’m seeing and getting from the team. From players like Etebo, Kelechi, Troost and new lad, Lookman, the message was and is clear; we will play at the World Cup and give a good account of ourselves.
“We are not going to Qatar to make up the numbers. We are going to give it our best shot. I’d like to, again, thank the Honourable Minister, Sunday Dare . It might sound like a broken record at this point, but his support is truly massive. From ensuring we get the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abuja, to joining in the zoom call with over 30 members of the National Team, his energy is truly infectious”.
