Trott Moloto, a former Head Coach of the Senior National Team of South Africa, Bafana Bafana, has expressed the belief that the African champions from Nigeria will lift the continent's flag high at the 20th FIFA World Cup finals in Brazil.
The former Bafana Bafana Head Coach made his comments to the media, as part of a delegation of the South African Premier League club, Mamemodi Sundowns, during a courtesy visit to the President of Nigeria Football Federation, Alhaji Aminu Maigari, last Thursday.

"I have absolutely no doubt in the strength, character, and capacity of the Super Eagles. You have a strong and vibrant squad, and I believe the Eagles will be ready to fly high in Brazil.
"The forthcoming FIFA World Cup is one that will favour African teams,” he said. In addition, he made the point that not only is the squad’s conditioning at top form, but other factors would play in their favour. The weather (conditions) will be good for the continent's flag bearers, and I see the Super Eagles excelling."
Maigari was delighted at Moloto's confidence in the Super Eagles, and used the brief meeting to inform the Sundowns' crew of the readiness
of the Nigeria Football Federation. That readiness will prepare the Eagles adequately for making a major impact at the FIFA World Cup finals.

"I thank your delegation, and I am moved by your confidence in Nigeria football and Nigeria footballers. I am aware that you presently have on your books one of our National Team stars, Ejike Uzoenyi, and I am also aware that you are aiming to sign more Nigerian players.
"The Government and the good people of Nigeria are very much keen on the Super Eagles doing very well in Brazil. The NFF is fully determined to
ensure the Eagles are thoroughly prepared to make the nation, and the continent, proud at the World Cup finals," Maigari said.
