Super Eagles striker Akor Adams has urged fans to come out in full force on Sunday to support the team in the final of the African World Cup Qualifying Play-off Tournament at the Complexe sportif Prince Héritier Moulay Abdellah.
Adams opened the scoring in Nigeria’s 4–1 semifinal victory over Gabon, with Victor Osimhen and Chidera Ejuke also finding the net after the game went into extra time. The striker could have put his name on the scoresheet as early as the third minute, but his effort was smartly kept out by the goalkeeper.
Nigeria will now face DR Congo in Sunday’s final after the Central African side edged Cameroon 1–0 in stoppage time to book their spot.
The 25-year-old has hit the ground running with the Super Eagles, scoring two goals in his first three appearances for the country.

“We should be as positive as possible. Try to support the team. We are giving our hearts, and we believe in the mission. We are doing our best. Just be positive. Come out with all the energy we need,” Adams told Pooja Media after the game.
The Sevilla striker is expected to be rewarded with another starting role alongside Victor Osimhen in the final against DR Congo.
