Gernot Rohr, the head coach of the team says more than being fashionable, the Super Eagles are focused on getting prepared for their first match on Saturday.

“We are happy to be here after working so hard. But we continue to work and we continue to be humble and we will be ready for Croatia because the first game, it is a very important game, not the clothes,”

In the meantime, the Federal Government of Nigeria has appealed to Nigerians going for the FIFA 2018 World Cup not to escape during and after the event.

“What we have done is to ensure that every group traveling, the list must be submitted to NAPTIP and you cannot travel without clearance.
