Nigeria is through to the semi-finals of the African Amputee Football Cup of Nations in Cairo, Egyp.

The Nigerian Special Eagles made progress in the competition after seeing off Liberia.

The Special Eagles defeated Liberia by 2-1, securing a place in the semi-finals of the competitive game.

The match result means that Nigeria has set up a tie with the Morrocan team which saw Egypt off by 4-2 in another encounter.

The Moroccans are the competition favourites, but the Nigerian team is also not a pushover. They earlier defeated Burundi 11-0.

Special Eagles technical director Victor Onyekachukwu was quoted by Sports247 as saying the team is focused.

His words:

“We remain focused, taking one game at a time. We approached this match knowing the importance of discipline and securing maximum points. We are not carried away by our last result, an 11-0 victory over Burundi. We understand that the competition gets tougher at every stage. Morocco is a very technical and determined side, but we are not under any pressure. We will go back, prepare thoroughly, and ensure our team delivers.”

Meanwhile, Nigerians on social media are commenting on the progress of the Special Eagles team in Egypt.

Sports journalist Pooja shared a photo of the team, and it received many reactions.
