The Super Eagles team will be hosted by the Federal Government of Nigeria this evening at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.
The Honourable Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, stated that the Ministry intends to host a dinner for the squad before sending them off to Cameroon.
The Minister also wished the injured players of the team who could not make the trip to Cameroon, a quick recovery.
Sunday Dare also said, “These are players who left their clubs in the midst of Covid19 to represent their Fatherland, that shows patriotism. There is no better way to charge them to victory in Cameroon, than hosting the team and have a common ground ahead of the Nations Cup. I will not only watch the matches but will be present in Cameroon to support the Super Eagles of Nigeria and also wish them luck for their hard-work”.
The tournament holds from January 9 to February 6 in Cameroon, where the three-time winners play seven-time champions Egypt in their opening game on January 11, before they battle Sudan four days later and their final group game will be against debutants Guinea Bissau on January 19.
