Prior to the team’s departure, Director General of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Hon. Bukola Olopade charged the players to give their all in pursuit of the championship medal.

“I encourage you to go all out for the championship and bring the trophy home. Use the last four qualifying matches, all of which were victories, as your morale booster. Stay relaxed, play your game, and make Nigeria proud,” Olopade said.
