No fewer than 300 members of the the Nigeria Football Supporters Club will be in Brazil to cheer the Super Eagles at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The first batch of 150 members will fly out today on an Ethiopian Airline flight.

The President General assured that apart from the 300 members of the club that will be travelling to Brazil from Nigeria, there were a lot of Nigerians resident in the Samba country who will join the party.

“The Eagles will be at home in Brazil,” he said.

As a build up to their departure, the leadership of the club, led by its President General, Dr. Rafiu Ladipo organised a prayer session at the National Stadium, Lagos yesterday.

The prayers were led by an Imam, Alhaji Ameed Olaribigbe who prayed the Islamic way and Pastor Ibironke who rendered prayers the Christian way,

Ladipo asked Nigerians to pray for the Super Eagles but expressed confidence in the team to do well at the World Cup.

“The team will do well. I am quite sure that the team we saw in the friendly matches will be better than what we are going to see in the World Cup,” Ladipo said, thanking Globacom the club’s major sponsors who made it possible for them to plan for Brazil.
