Pinnick
President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has backed the Golden Eaglets to go on and successfully defend their title, when they face African champions Mali on Sunday.
Pinnick was in the stands, as Emmanuel Amuneke’s boys defeated Mexico 4-2 on Friday morning to reach the final of the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile.
“These boys have done Nigeria proud. They will go up against Mali on Sunday with great confidence and discipline and emerge victorious,” he said.
“I’m very excited, not only with the result, but the way the boys came fighting back after that early goal by Mexico. I keep saying that we have the potential to be world champions in several areas of endeavour”, he added.
