Guinness, official
sponsors of the Nigeria Super Eagles,
once again reaffirms its commitment to the success of the Super Eagles and
urges Nigerians to stand behind the team on their march to victory and as they
engage the Walya Antelopes from Ethiopia.
In support of this, the brand of choice, Guinness recently
announced a $2,000 reward for each goal scored by the National team against
Ethiopia in this weekend’s 2014 FIFA World Cup playoff match.
Nigeria is ranked 36th in the world and 4th in Africa
currently and with the Antelopes a distant 93rd in the FIFA rankings, the
Eagles have a formidable side to play against.
On paper, Ethiopia is an emerging force in African football.
They qualified for the last Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa after a 31-year
absence and finished top of their World Cup qualifying group ahead of Bafana
Bafana, even after being docked three points for fielding an
ineligible player.
The Super Eagles defeated the Flames
of Malawi to
progress to the next round of qualifying matches and thanks to the unflinching
support from Guinness and the massive support of millions of Nigerians, we have
progressed this far.
Once again, let us stand together and show solidarity with
the team as they take on their next challenge.
