In a video shared by @astridwett, she also revealed that she had a history of being a lucky charm for many teams in different games and that her presence in the stadium would boost the morale of the Nigerian players and help them clinch the title.

Speaking briefly with Ayomide Oguntimehin, a CAF-accredited sports expert with over 7 years of experience, he gave his honest overview of what Nigeria needs to do differently to win.

He told Legit.ng:

"I think the formation should be rejigged as it is becoming very similar. Other coaches are becoming more familiar with the Super Eagle tactics, as seen in the last match against South Africa. Some of the players introduced to the first eleven, in particular Osayi Samuel, also found it hard to blend with the team's strategy. The coach would have to find a way around this moving forward."
