Eagles arrive Windhoek, comfortable in Country Club Resort The Super Eagles arrived in Windhoek, the capital of Namibia on Friday and immediately moved to the stately Country Club Resort Windhoek. They will be there for six days, training for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Namibia’s Brave Warriors on Wednesday and the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup tournament that begins in Brazil on Saturday. On Thursday night, the delegation was hosted to a sumptuous dinner at the Nigeria House in Nairobi by Ambassador Akin Oyateru. At dinner, Ambassador Oyateru, who also served as Nigeria’s High Commissioner to Namibia in the 1990s, urged the team to show similar guts and go-go spirit as they did against the Harambee Stars at Kasarani on Wednesday. “This is a big opportunity for myself and other officials of the Nigeria High Commission here. You really made us proud. We all have faith in you and you have shown what you can do by rejuvenating our football with that triumph at the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa. And you have not let us down since then. “Go to Windhoek and conquer so that our path to the 2014 FIFA World Cup finals will become even clearer.” Super Eagles’ Head Coach, Stephen Keshi, praised the Nigeria mission in Nairobi for their love for the team, adding that the Nigeria Football Federation deserved plaudits for the team’s progress. “Since I started this job, the NFF President, Alhaji Aminu Maigari and his team have been giving me great support in every area. They believed in me from the beginning and believed in my approach and they continue to do so. They also believe in the team, which is very important.” Wednesday’s match will start at 8pm at the Sam Nujoma Stadium, which has artificial turf.
