The Super Eagles of Nigeria have been encouraged to approach their upcoming friendly match against Mali with a competitive mindset in order to boost their FIFA rankings and further enhance their brand appeal. This advice comes from journalist Femi Fabumi, who emphasized the importance of taking the match seriously.

Fabumi highlighted Mali’s strong performance at the recent AFCON tournament, where they narrowly lost in the final to host nation Cote D’Ivoire. He suggested that the Nigerian team should not underestimate Mali’s capabilities and should treat the match as a real competition.

The journalist emphasized that a victory over Mali would not only reflect positively on the Super Eagles’ FIFA rankings but also contribute to making them a more attractive and competitive team on the international stage.
