Football (CAF) believe Super Eagles made the continent proud despite
their World Cup ouster.
A 2-1 loss to Argentina in the last group D game at Saint Petersburg
stadium sent the team to a third place with three points behind their
South American counterparts with four points.
Lionel Messi's captained side will join group leaders Croatia with
nine points in the knockout stages as eagles bow out of the World Cup.
On her Twitter handle, @fatma_Samoura urged the team to hold its head high.
"To the Nigerian side be proud, be strong, hold your heads high! You
have not only lifted the spirits of your country but made it very
proud of you," she tweeted.
CAF also on its official Twitter page added that the team made them proud.
"Hard Luck Super Eagles, You did a great job and really made us proud.
Celebrate Africa," CAF said.
With Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia out of the World Cup, Senegal, the
only African nation left, will take on Columbia in their last group H
game on Thursday.
