Enyimba Star, Kingsley Sokari Reveals Uganda Friendly Will Be Taken Like A World Cup Final

Enyimba striker Kingsley Sokari has reflected on Wednesday evening’s international friendly between Nigeria and Uganda, and has revealed that the Super Eagles will treat the game like a competitive fixture.

The 19 - year - old stated that the squad wants to compensate the supporters after missing out on the 2015 African Cup of Nations.

“Uganda is not a small side and Nigeria is not a small country when it comes to football. I can’t say we are scared of Uganda, but we will come out victorious and make the fans happy,” said Kingsley Sokari to allnigeriasoccer.com.

“We are not taking this game like a friendly, we will take it as if we are playing the World Cup final.

“The mood in camp is very high. We are ready to put in our best .”

The attacking midfielder, who dazzled the Uyo fans in his debut for the B Team of Nigeria against Ghana Under 23s, is eager to turn out for the Super Eagles in one of his favourite surroundings.

“If I get to play, I’ll give my best to my country. As a young player, I want to use this game to showcase myself,” he concluded.

The Super Eagles had a light workout on Wednesday morning ahead of the contest with the Cranes of Uganda.
