The
Nigeria Football Association (NFA) said it was confident the Super
Eagles have a 100 per cent chance of beating Ethiopia to qualify for the
2014 World Cup finals.
NFA’s Assistant Technical Director,
James Peters, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Abuja
he was sure the team would be in Brazil in 2014 after overcoming
Ethiopia.
Peters was reacting to the draws of the final play-off held on Monday at CAF headquarters in Cairo, Egypt.
At the draws, the Nigerian senior men football side was pitched against the east Africans in the final qualifying round.
The Super Eagles will visit Ethiopia for
the first leg between Oct. 11 and Oct. 15, while they will be hosting
the Black Lions between Nov. 15 and Nov. 19
“We have a 100 per cent chance of
advancing and qualifying, because in Africa today no team can overcome
or subdue us. It may be in another five years to come, but certainly not
now.
“But between now and five years, there is no African country that can bring us down,’’ Peters said.
The former Super Falcons’ handler said
he was confident the Ethiopians would not be a match to the Super
Eagles, even though there are no longer minnows in football.
