Nigerian troops serving with the ECOWAS Stabilization Support Mission to the Republic of Guinea-Bissau (ESSMGB) have paid a solidarity visit to the Super Eagles ahead of Tuesday’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against the host nation, the Wild Dogs.

The Commanding Officer, NIGCOY 5, Lieutenant Colonel Afam Junior Chidi, led the troops to the team’s official training session at the 24 September Stadium in Bissau on Monday evening, where they met with Acting NFF General Secretary, Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme, and other members of the Nigerian delegation.

The visit underscored the camaraderie between Nigerian troops serving abroad and the national team, while providing an opportunity for the soldiers to encourage the Super Eagles ahead of the crucial qualifier in Bissau.
