The Chairman of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) Youth Committee, Ganiyu Majekodunmi, visited the Golden Eaglets to boost their morale ahead of their critical match against Ghana’s Black Starlets in the third-place game of the WAFU B U17 Championship on Tuesday.
In his address to the team, Majekodunmi expressed his confidence and conveyed the support of the entire federation. “By the grace of God, all of us are praying for you at the federation,” he said. “We have talked at length and discussed as father and son.”
He emphasized the long journey they have shared and the importance of fulfilling their mutual commitments. “We have come a long way, and you have to win today and fulfill our agreement. Let our agreement be our agreement. Let’s make sure that we are doing what we are supposed to do, concentrate, and win the game for yourselves and for your country.”
Majekodunmi assured the young players of his faith in their abilities and wished them the best of luck. “I wish everyone all the best of luck. I’m sure God will do it for us,” he concluded.
The Golden Eaglets, Nigeria’s U17 team, are set to face their rivals from Ghana in what promises to be a fiercely contested match. The visit from Majekodunmi comes at a crucial time, providing the team with a much-needed boost of encouragement and support.
As the Golden Eaglets prepare for this pivotal game, the backing from the NFF and the motivational words from their Youth Committee Chairman are expected to inspire them to perform at their best. The team aims to secure victory not only for themselves but also for their country, reinforcing the pride and passion that comes with representing Nigeria on the international stage.
