NFF President,
Alhaji Aminu
Maigari says an
emphatic win by
the Super Eagles
over the Mena of
Niger in
Wednesday’s
international
friendly in Niamey
will help the
confidence of the
home boys going
into the
preparations for
the 2013 African
Cup of Nations
qualifying match
against Liberia in
September.
Speaking in Saudi
Arabia where he
is attending the
Umrah (lesser
hajj), Maigari
stated on
Tuesday that
the Eagles must
go all out against
their northern
neighbours.
“It is a friendly
match, but the
factors
underlining the
match means
that our boys
have to go all out.
This is a match
to see what the
home boys can
do as a unit, and
it is what they
are able to do
that will
determine how
many of them
will be invited for
the big one
against Liberia.
“It will not be
easy, because
apart from the
fact that there
are no longer
minnows in
international
football, Niger
have a strong
team that
cannot be under-
rated.
