Nigeria’s Minister of Youth and Sport, Sunday Dare, has urged the Super Eagles interim manager, Austin Eguavoen, and his players to put their anger on the Black Stars of Ghana when both teams clash in a 2022 FIFA World Cup playoff.
SportsDayOnline.com reports that Nigeria and Ghana will clash on Friday at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.
The Super Eagles will then host Ghana in the second leg on Tuesday at the Moshood Abiola National (MKO) Stadium in Abuja.
“Thank you sincerely for turning up for Nigeria,” Dare told NFF TV while addressing the Austin Eguavoen-led coaching crew and Super Eagles players inside the main bowl of the stadium on Wednesday morning.
“We have put Cameroon and the Cup of Nations behind us and the message after Cameroon is that if I could remember, I said let us visit our anger on Ghana.
“We are not going to Ghana for a draw, so you guys just do your thing. It’s football.”
