QATAR 2022: Ikpea Urges Super Eagles To Qualify Without Permutations

The President, Nigeria Football Supporters Club (NFSC), Sam Ikpea has urged the Super Eagles to take their World Cup qualification into their hands by winning their matches ahead, so as not to rely on other teams to drop points to reach Qatar.

Mr Ikpea gave the charge ahead of the Super Eagles Qatar 2022 World Cup Qualifiers against the Central African Republic on Thursday in Lagos.

Mr Ikpea said, “The Eagles have started well enough, winning their first two matches and there with bagging the six maximum points.

“My prayer and advice to the team is that they should keep the winning tempo now that they have the chance without going through unnecessary pressure.

“The team should focus on winning the next game in the double-header in Cameroon this time around so that we will not have to go through permutations or having concerns and watching for other teams to drop points.

“It is possible now to seal the ticket once and for all. By doing so, other matches will just be a formality which will be good for the ranking of the team as well,” he said.

Ikpea said the Supporters Club would not relent in ensuring that the Super Eagles got the much-needed support from Nigerians.

“We as the 12th player on the field are solidly behind the Super Eagles to prosper and we are always ready to cheer them on to victory.

“We have been supporting the team from the age of establishing the team and, up till now, we have not looked back. We travelled with the team to Cape Verde to cheer them as well.

“For those that were unable to go to Cape Verde, we also provided a viewing centre right inside our secretariat for people to watch the match. For us, the team lacked no support,” he said.

Ikpea also commended the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) leadership over the series of endorsements and partnerships it secured to make the federation self-sufficient.

“We are so much encouraged with the positive developments in Nigerian football as the NFF is sealing deals and partnerships with different private organisations.

“The partnerships with MTN, Air Peace, Baba Ijebu and others are positive steps towards achieving self-sufficiency for the NFF. This to us will provide a financial stress-free era.

“The cash backing will also encourage our national teams to do well, especially the Eagles in their quest to qualify for the World Cup. I am sure that this crop of eagles will go far,” he said.
