3) A Great Football Team
The “Super Eagles” have made the World Cup on 4
occasions – in 1994, 1998, 2002, and in 2010. They won the African Cup of Nations in 1980, 1994, and 2013. They won the gold medal for football in the 1996 Summer Olympics (inwhich they beat Argentina) becoming the first African
