Nigeria’s Super Eagles -World Cup, USA 1994”

It was 1994, and the world finally saw what Nigeria had long known that our nation could soar.

In this historic team photo, the Super Eagles stood tall in green and white, ready to make their first-ever appearance at the FIFA World Cup.
From Rashidi Yekini’s thunderous goal celebration, face pressed against the net in pure emotion, to the calm leadership of Stephen Keshi, the world watched Africa rise with pride.

They didn’t just play football they carried a nation’s hope, spirit, and rhythm onto the world stage.
Against legends like Argentina and Italy, Nigeria played with fire, flair, and fearlessness.

Though the journey ended in the Round of 16, the USA ’94 squad became immortal, a generation that proved Nigeria was not just in the tournament to participate, but to compete with the best.

Their legacy still inspires every green jersey that steps onto the pitch today.
