By Victor Okoye

Corporate partners of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have pledged to provide incentives for the Super Eagles to go all out for the three points against Zimbabwe.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Super Eagles will host the Warriors of Zimbabwe in Tuesday’s 2026 FIFA World Cup Matchday 6 Qualifier at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo.

Ademola Olajire, NFF’s Director of Communications, said Nigerian Breweries, through their brands Goldberg, Life Continental and Zagg Energy drink are sponsoring the Man-of-the-match award for the sum of one million naira.

“The dummy cheque will be presented to the winner right on the pitch immediately after the final whistle.

“On their part, Carloha, official automobile company of the NFF and the National Teams, will sponsor the Chery Most Valuable Player award, also for the sum of one million naira.

“The dummy cheque for the amount will equally be presented to the winner on the pitch after the match,’’ he said.

Olajire said that sports journalists attending Tuesday’s match will be saddled with the task of picking the Man-of-the-match as well as the Most Valuable Player.

He added that the NFF would be giving out 500 jerseys ahead of the encounter, while match tickets would be sold on Tuesday.

He quoted the General Secretary of NFF, Mohammed Sanusi, as saying that the first 500 persons to buy match tickets for Tuesday’s match at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo would get a Super Eagles’ home jersey.

“We are calling on Nigerians to come out in large numbers to support the Super Eagles on Tuesday.

“The team needs the support. When we played Rwanda in Kigali on Friday, the Rwandans filled up the Amahoro Stadium to its full capacity. Let our people also come out in throngs and cheer the Eagles.

“We are also appealing to fans to come to the stadium in Nigerian colours. Let us fill up the stadium in green and white colours, and drum and dance to support the team.

“The NFF has also confirmed that match tickets will be available for sale on match day, with the VIP tickets going for N3000 and the regular seats for the sum of N1000 each,” he said. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
