The Super Eagles Are Highly Motivated - NFF

Director of competitions of the Nigeria Football Federation, Dr. Mohamed Sanusi says the Super Eagles are highly motivated to perform at a high level going into the World Cup qualifier against Malawi.

'' The players are motivated because they know that it is very important to wear the national colours.

'' And they also know that the federation has not failed in its responsibilities to them, secondly, they know that they have their reputation to protect so I would say that they are really motivated,'' Sanusi said to Brila FM.

With 9 points from 5 matches, Nigeria are 2 points ahead of closest challengers Malawi in African Group F World Cup qualifying.

And that means even a draw against the Flames in Calabar this afternoon would be enough to progress to the play - off round.
