'We want our fans to be there' -Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa rallies the troops ahead of crucial Ghana match

Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa has asked the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to guarantee overwhelming home support in the home leg of the 2022 FIFA World Cup playoff against Ghana.

Nigeria and Ghana will battle each other in two-legged FIFA World Cup qualifiers in March

The first leg will be played at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium on March 23, while the return leg will take place on March 29 at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abuja.

Speaking on Tuesday night, Musa said: “The FIFA World Cup is the biggest football tournament in the world, and every player wants to feature there.

"A good number of the players in the team now have not been there, and the few of us that have been there, want to experience it again."

Musa admitted that the fixture might be tricky, but he knows the Super Eagles will have an advantage at home in Abuja.

“We must admit that Ghana also wants to qualify and they have a strong team. The return leg will be crucial and we are ready for the battle, but we want our fans to be in there cheering us on.”

The Super Eagles captain charged the NFF chieftaincy to work towards ensuring overwhelming support in order to guarantee a favourable result.

“We just want the NFF to help us get enough fans into the Abuja Stadium for the second leg. We will go to Ghana and dig our feet and ensure we get a result.

The Super Eagles will host Ghana in the second leg of their World Cup qualifier series in March.
