“It is a thing of joy that the Golden Eaglets has qualified for the finals of the on-going FIFA U-17 World Cup and I am confident they will lift the trophy for a record fourth time.

“The only way Nigerians can appreciate them and give them their total support towards beating the defending champions, Mexico is for all Nigerians to adorn the national colour of Green White Green on Friday as a mark of support to the team.”

Okumagba recalled the zeal, determination and good football artistry the Golden Eaglets have displayed since the tournament kicked off in UAE two weeks ago and charged them not to relent in their efforts until they bring home the trophy even as he re-assured the nation the total support of the Club during the finals; pointing out that members of the club will adorn the Nigerian colours as a sign of patriotism and total support for the team.
