Strategic
partners to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) and the FA Cup, GTI have
charged the Super Eagles and its coaching crew to go all out with a perfect
strategic technical plan to lift the AFCON 2023 trophy against hosts Cote
d’Ivoire. The final match is slated for the prestigious Alassane Ouattara
Stadium in Abidjan on Sunday, February 11, 2023, at 9pm local time.
GTI’s
GMD, Abubakar Lawal, made the call in Lagos after the Super Eagles sent Bafana
Bafana of South Africa packing. The outcome of the match was a true test of the
resilience of the Nigerian spirit to succeed and a good sign for the
development of our football ecosystem.
Nigeria
entered the match with a perfect record against South Africa in the elite
African football competition having won three previous meetings. They beat
Bafana Bafana 2-0 in a 2000 semi-final cracker in Nigeria; 4-0 in a group match
four years later in Tunisia and 2-1 in a 2019 quarter-final tie in Egypt.
In
the words of Abubakar ahead of the final game on Sunday he reiterated the need
for Nigerians to come together in rekindling the winning spirit before the
vociferous crowd of Cote d’Ivoire as demonstrated in 1980, 1994 and 2013
triumphs to further enhance the brand equity of the country.
