NFF Kudos President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan As Flying Eagles Excel

Mr. President

The Flying Eagles Celebrating their qualification

A 10 man Flying Eagles Of Nigeria put up a sterling performance and defeated  the Congo National Team which paraded largely the Senior members of their National team in the defense area on the 11th of March in Senegal by 4-1. The African Under 20 Championship started on the 8th of March 2015 with Nigeria playing the opening game against the host Nation Senegal as the match ended 3-1 in favor of the Flying Eagles.

This means that the flying Eagles will hoist the flag of the Nation at the FIFA U20 World Cup in Newzealand next summer.

However, the Nigeria Football Federation has given kudos to President Goodluck Jonathan for the excellent run of the U-20 National Team, Flying Eagles, at the on-going African Youth Championship in Senegal, recalling that it was the country’s number one man who directed that the boys be kept together and made to grow to the senior category.

“Following the triumph of the U-17 National Team at the FIFA U-17 World Cup finals in United Arab Emirates in 2013, President Jonathan instructed the NFF to keep the team together and allow the players grow through the ranks all the way to the senior team, and that he would give the NFF the needed support to do that.

“I can confirm that President Jonathan has kept to his every word and has been there with maximum support for the NFF to keep the boys together in long camping programmes and getting friendly matches for them,” NFF president Amaju Pinnick declared on Thursday.

While honouring the Golden Eaglets for their victory at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in the UAE in November 2013, President Jonathan had promised to give support to the NFF to keep the team together, so the bulk can go ahead to dominate world football and then go ahead to try and win the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
