Nigeria play Portuguese Second Division club Farense in the last game of their preparations.
Despite heading to South Africa with 17 debutants, the Super Eagles go into the tournament as one of the favourites, and Keshi has reinforced that belief.

"The team on ground is well prepared for action at the 2013 Nations Cup and again I urge Nigerians to line up behind the team in a bid to bring greater glory to the country at the tourney," Keshi said, according to Media Officer Ben Alaiya.
The game kicks of at 3:30pm Nigeria time. The Eagles followed up their 0-0 draw against Cape Verde with a 1-0 victory over Dutch first division club Sparta Rotterdam.




Your comments on this story...
K4L : let's hear
The only bask on age cheat as excuse for Nigerian success with absence of scientific facts:
Jonathan Okpoborie played for Nigerian Under 17 that won gold in China 85, he played top fly football in Europe for 22years, all the young stars picked from Nigeria except few had lasted in top fly football for more than an average of 15years.
Give me one south African player that had lasted ten years in top fly football...
Blackman problem is shown evrywhere in South African where sadism remained the root of criticism...
Led the nations cup begins, no need for this noise from people who can only fixed Mandela Challenge Cup Match to record their only ever one 1 - 0 victory against Nigeria in almost ten meetings...
May I educate you look at all the world cup winners let say from 1986 they got something in common their domestic leagues are very competitive besides havin being coached by local coaches they believe in themselves. Let's look at you nd most african countries one thing they have in common they believe anything from their country is not good enough for them it must be from europe to be good.
That brings me to my question have you ever seen someone who does not believe in himself achieving big things. Let's look at spain they underachieved for decades look at them now is it because of players playing in germany or england?
I can bet with u with my lovely girl Motlalepule if Keshi does not win AFCON he will be fired nd a foreign coach will be appointed yeh because of the world cup because u guys dnt believe in yourselves. For the record we as south africans request some respect when u guys r in our country if you can't handle the heat get the hell out of the kitchen
Wud like to wish your team my country nd the other 14 teams gud luck. May the best team win
When the kick-off whistle is blown the moment of truth will dawn upon all countries participating in this year's edition of Afcon. Halala Super Eagles Halala. Time to rekindle your former glory and I will be rallying behind Bafana Bafana because I have to support it by defaulft because it is my country though the performance is lacklustre but my money is on DRC to win this competition. Tresor Mputu and Mbokani will destroy many.
Wud also like to wish your team my country nd the other 14 teams gud luck. May the best team win...
Unfortunately also have to put my full weight behind my country. Educate your fellow country men u guys r one of the very few african countries that can win the world cup.
That nija u23 that lost 1 0 to argentina in the 2008 olympic final from that di maria goal was destined for great things I c your u20 is also comin up nicely. U guys must ensure proper graduation of those flying eagles just thought I shud let u know.
We advise you to come in numbers to witness nd support your team on what is promising to be the greatest AFCON finals of all times. Once again I thank
are they African or what
i open my lap to no what is happening in African football only to see huge of baggage comment from all this stupid irritated south Africans even the name tell you they have no country SOUTH-AFRIIX AFRICAN what a name nonsense feeling furious among good nations bad eggs
Our federations are also to blame. Agents are even worse nd it seems africa is their happy hunting ground. Look @ neymar the brazillian if he was african I.bet you he could have joined a european leaque long time ago
I must admit nigeria got talent asto why it was strugglin it puzzels me. As for SA I think harsh lessons were learnt um keeping my fingers crossed for better returns in de future
i'm dissappointed in your comments, i'm a South African who's been a soccer addict for a while, i grew up loving the super eagles of Nigeria most especially during the time of West, Okpara, Babangida, Lawal, Okocha, Finidi George, Sunday Iliseh (my personal fav), Jay-jay Okocha, Emunike i can count till next week,
during that era Nigerians and the national team member were very grounded hence the world loved them,
now people like yourself come and insult South Africans and stan12 go as far as saying we dont know God is just uncalled for,
for the record, i will watch all the Nigerian games on this AFCON because i always had a soft for this green and white team,
So please stop with the insults and focus on the issue at hand which is football !!!
dankie!!!!
