The Nigeria Volleyball Federation has congratulated the Super Eagles of Nigeria led by Austin Eguavoen over their exceptional performance at the ongoing 2021 African Football Nations Cup (AFCON) in Cameroon.

Nigeria beat Guinea Bissau 2-0 in their third match to become the only team to win all three group stage matches at the 2021 AFCON on Wednesday.

In a statement signed by Engineer Musa Nimrod, President of Nigeria Volleyball Federation, he praised the players for playing with passion and putting smiles on the faces of Nigerians.

Nimrod said, “The volleyball community are excited about the performance of Super Eagles of Nigeria at the 2021 AFCON in Cameroon.

“Austin Eguavoen who is a lover of volleyball has shown once again that he has the capacity to lead the Super Eagles of Nigeria as an ex international and former coach. He performed such feat in 2006 and we are optimistic he’ll surpass his record.”

He urged the Super Eagles to take each matches in the next round seriously in order to avoid upsets.

The Sports Administrator said, “The hopes of Nigerians are high and it is our prayers they succeed. Austin Eguavoen and his team are now in the next round and we urge them to continue with the tempo they started with.

“If the Super Eagles of Nigeria succeeds at the 2021 AFCON, their success will rub on other sports in Nigeria and attract cooperative bodies to invest in them”.

The Nigerian team have qualified for the Round of 16 of the 33rd African Cup of Nations, after claiming victories in all their Group D games, with a remarkable win over Egypt, Sudan and Guinea Bissau scoring six goals, conceding just only one goal.
