Super Eagles
The former Vice Chairman of the Nigeria Football Association - Tony Nnachetta believes this current Super Eagles team can take inspiration from the 1994 set of the national team - as they journey to Brazil in 2014.
As part of celebrations marking the 20th anniversary of Nigeria’s World Cup debut in 1994, Nnacheta also pointed out the level of success made by Clemens Westerhoff's led Eagles as he urged the current and upcoming Nigerian footballers to recreate the legacy.
“We plan to have a week-long series of activities including the unveiling of a book and a documentary. The story of THE CLASS OF '94 is being introduced in an all gloss 120-page coffee table book and a 120-minute television documentary. The book brings for the record, the exploits and efforts that led to this ascendancy and it tells the direct stories from THE CLASS OF '94 as never published before,” said Nnachetta.
“This is to relive and honour one of the most triumphant moments of Nigerian football. It will provide a reunion for members of the World Cup '94 squad, as well as serve as impetus to the squad aspiring for the Class of 2014 World Cup.
“It will afford the young generation of Nigerians and footballers to behold their heroes and enable a grateful nation renew itself with opportunity to rally for Brazil 2014 and recreate the legacy of the 1994 era of Nigeria football,” concluded Nnachetta.
