The Nigeria Football Federation,NFF will tomorrow display the FIFA U-17 World Cup trophy won by the Golden Eaglets in the United Arab Emirates during Saturday's 2014 World Cup qualifier against Ethiopia.

The victorious Eaglets squad will also be at the stadium to cheer their seniors to victory, according to NFF spokesman Ademola Olajire.

"The glittering Fifa Under-17 World Cup that the Eaglets won in Abu Dhabi on Friday would be on display at the State Box on Saturday," Olajire said in a press release.

"Already, Governor Liyel Imoke has invited the world-conquering Golden Eaglets, who spent the better part of their camping programme in Calabar, to be part of the occasion."

Saturday’s match between the Super Eagles and the Walya Antelopes will be the 214th match of the Aminu Maigari administration at the Nigeria Football Federation.
And Maigari insists victory is guaranteed for Nigeria’s flag to fly in Brazil next year summer.

“I am confident that the Eagles will overpower the Antelopes at our beloved U. J. Esuene Stadium on Saturday. It has been a 17-month journey from the time we defeated Namibia in Calabar in June 2012, but a happy ending makes it worthwhile for everyone involved.”
