which will you consider as Nigerias greatest soccer moment:



1. USA 1994

This marked the first time Nigeria will be playing at the world cup. It was so memorable because it was coming on the back of several failed attempt. The worse been the 1990 edition were she was edge out by Cameroon after losing Samuel Okparaji in the process.

But the performance at the world stage was breath taking. it took the brilliance of Roberto Baggio to edge her out. in the end Nigeria was voted the 5th best soccer nation in the world.

.ATLANTA 1996 OLYMPICS

Nigeria conquered the world in football becoming the first black nation to win an Olympic gold medal. It was done in the most memorable fashion beating Brazil in the Semis and Argentina in the Finals.
Arguable this is the best moment for Nigeria because the world didn’t see this coming. With the dangling Kanu thunder strike to deny brazil.

3. AFCON 2013

After a long wait of 19 years Sunday Mba, scored on a Sunday to hand Nigeria her 3rd AFCON trophy after several runner up and third place finishing.
It couldn’t have been better, because Nigeria came to the tournament as under dogs but ended up becoming the top eagles after edging out tournament favorite the elephants of cote d ivore. With a largely experimental team.
