Super Eagles and Hilda Baci: NFF links up with Guniness World Record holder to cook Nigeria's 4th AFCON title

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, have strengthened their campaign to drum support for the Super Eagles ahead of the next AFCON with the addition of Hilda Baci.

NFF has linked up with the Guinness World Record holder to help push support for the Super Eagles’ quest to lift their fourth AFCON title in Cote d’Ivoire next year. 

The football governing body revealed this in a promotional video posted on their official social media page on Monday. 

In the video, Baci was presented with a gift pack with their AFCON2024 tagline “Let’s Do it Again” that contained Super Eagles and NFF branded merchandise.

“Thank you so much, NFF, “ Baci said in the video. “Let’s do it again with the Super Eagles,” she added. 

Baci, who came into prominence after she smashed the world record for the longest-time cooking, is the latest influencer to join the NFF campaign after Big Brother Nigeria winner, Ilebaye. 

As reported earlier by Pulse Sports Nigeria, ahead of the 2024 AFCON in the Ivory Coast, the Nigeria Football governing body launched a media campaign to drum up support for the men’s national team.

The campaign, with the slogan, “Let’s Do It Again”, is geared towards inspiring Jose Peseiro and his Eagles to end Nigeria’s 10-year wait to lift the title again. 

“We like the phrase because it gives us confidence and the go-go push. We have done it before so we can do it again,” team leader and defender, William Troost-Ekong noted. 

“Winning the Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire is our goal and we have the team to do just that,” he added. 

With chef Baci on board, NFF surely expect the Nigeria Super Eagles to cook other teams in Ivory Coast when the tournament gets underway next January.
