Nigeria's head coach Stephen Keshi has
assured Nigerians that the Super Eagles,
would make Africa proud by performing well
at next month's FIFA Confederations Cup.
.
``We'll do our best there to give a good image for the
African football,'' Keshi said in an interview with the
official website of the Confederation of African
Football (CAF) in Cairo, Egypt.
.
Keshi is in Cairo, attending a three-day symposium
on the last two editions of the Africa Cup of Nations.
Nigeria qualified to represent Africa at the FIFA
Confederations Cup by winning the 2013 edition of
the Nations Cup in South Africa.
.
Keshi said it was a great chance for the country to
play in such an important competition.
.
The FIFA Confederations Cup, currently held every
four years, features winners of the six FIFA
confederation championships, along with the FIFA
World Cup holder and the host nation.
.
Since 2005, the tournament has been held in the
nation that will host the FIFA World Cup in the
following year, acting as a dress rehearsal for the
bigger and more prestigious tournament.
.
Brazil, host of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, will host the
2013 FIFA Confederations Cup from June 15 to June
30.
We won't believe that just by what he said. Seeing is believing, let's see what they would bring to the table when the competition starts.
