Paris – President Goodluck Jonathan has said that
the Super Eagles will have a victorious outing in the
2014 FIFA world cup to be staged in Brazil.
The President expressed the optimism on Saturday
in Paris, France in an interview in France 24 Radio.
Jonathan was reacting to the groups draw for the
preliminary stages of the world cup tournament held
in Costa do Sauipe, Bahia State, Brazil on Friday
night.
Nigeria emerged in Group F with Argentina, Iran and
Bosnia.
“In winning the World cup, we are quite hopeful that
Nigeria will do very well.
“We have won the Olympic gold in soccer before,
we have won under-17 thrice and we have been
doing quite well in the U-22.
“So, I believe and the world knows that Nigeria is a
football nation even though we have not had the
opportunity or luck of winning the World cup; indeed
no African country has won the world cup,’’ he said.
Jonathan added that the team would perform well,
particularly at the preliminary stage of the
tournament.
“Within the zone that Nigeria will play, Argentina is a
strong soccer nation but, Nigeria is also strong and
I believe we will do well,’’ he said. (NAN)
