Pamodzi Sports Marketing, a prominent name in sports marketing, sponsorship, hospitality, and rights acquisition in Nigeria, has urged Nigerians to rally behind the Super Eagles and their new Head Coach, Eric Chelle, as they prepare for the qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup starting in March. Chelle was appointed as Head Coach earlier this month, and Pamodzi emphasizes that what he needs now is the support and prayers of Nigerians instead of discussions about his competencies. “The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) made the decision to bring Chelle on board, and we at Pamodzi support the views of NFF president Ibrahim Gusau that the coach can and will secure the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification,” stated Mike Itemuagbor, CEO of Pamodzi Sports Marketing. Itemuagbor shared his happiness about Shehu Dikko, the Chairman of the National Sports Commission, pledging to provide the NFF with the support needed to help the Super Eagles qualify for the FIFA World Cup after their previous absence. “Nigerians should rally behind Dikko’s statement and offer the new head of the Super Eagles all the encouragement and backing he requires.” Chelle’s achievements will also benefit us, and participating well in this year’s Africa Cup of Nations, along with a return to the World Cup, will significantly help many businesses. Major football events like the FIFA World Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations attract the interest of millions of fans worldwide. They offer not only incredible experiences and entertainment but also significant economic benefits, particularly for the host country and the participating nations. “One major impact is brand sponsorships, which are crucial to the economy of football as companies invest significantly to link their brands with prominent tournaments and the national team, using the exposure to increase sales,” Itemuagbor noted, while also highlighting the social and political advantages. Additionally, Amuneke strengthens Heartland with new signings in preparation for the second phase of the 2024/25 NPFL. Football serves as the most significant unifying element in Nigeria and has also emerged as a major source of employment. When the Super Eagles do well, it makes Nigerians happy and draws in more investments in the area. The Super Eagles will continue their campaign in March, facing Rwanda away at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali and Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo. Nigeria is currently fifth in the group standings with three points, four points behind group leaders Rwanda, South Africa, and the Republic of Benin, following three draws and one loss in their four matches.
