Nigeria's Super Eagles Head Coach - Stephen Keshi prides his formidable team as capable of playing any team in the 2014 World Cup.
FIFA will be conducting the draw for the 2014 World Cup on Friday, December 6.
And the Eagles' boss claims he is not particular about playing any team as all participants have equal chances to triumph - since they are champions in their different continents.
“First, it is good we have qualified for the World Cup which [was] the main aim at the start of the qualifiers. For me, I’m open to facing any team at the World Cup as we cannot determine who and who we want to play against,” Keshi told Supersport.
“All 32 countries have equal opportunities of doing well because they are the best from the different continents of the world at the moment.
Same goes for Nigeria. I believe we have a team that can do well and go as far as the Final.
“Our concern right now is to do well at the World Cup next year. The World Cup is always a big stage to show what you’re capable of doing as a player and as a team. But right now we will concern ourselves with preparing for the World Cup rather than bother about who our opponents will be.
“We welcome any team we are drawn against and we will be prepared to give our best,” Keshi concluded.
The FIFA World Cup will take place in Brazil from June 12 to July 13, 2014.
