NFF: Eagles in top shape for CHAN

The Nigeria Football Federation has stated that the Super Eagles are in top shape for the African Nation Championship while dismissing speculations that the team lack proper care at the camp in Pretoria, South Africa.

The Super Eagles’ Media Officer, Toyin Ibitoye, told thenff.com from Pretoria, “All the officials in camp have been commending the NFF for arranging for the team to train at such a world –class facility as the High Performance Centre in Pretoria.

“The training kits are top-quality, so also the match jerseys which were brought in by the team administrator. They were kits supplied direct to the Federation by NIKE. The team trained in Abuja for two weeks before heading to Pretoria, and everyone saw the kits they used.

“The Super Eagles B delegation is heading to Rwanda on Friday, 15th January. It is uncharitable and the height of mischief for anyone to describe the kits we are using now as inferior. They are among the best anywhere in the world. The team has played two friendly matches, drawing one and winning the other.

“We are all in very high spirit and we are praying that the team gets it right in Rwanda in order to make the NFF and Nigeria proud,” NFF’s Assistant Director (Communications), Ademola Olajire added.
