Nigeria supporters in Russia have not been granted permission to carry
live chickens to the Kaliningrad Stadium, venue of the national
team’s World Cup opener against Croatia on Saturday.
It would be recalled that at South Africa 2010, Nigeria fans were
turned away from Ellis Park in Johannesburg after demanding to take
chickens, painted or dyed green and with bound feet, into the stadium
where the team lost 1-0 to Argentina.
”Our information center FM-2018 receives a lot of various questions.
So, fans from Nigeria asked whether it is possible to go to the
stadium with a chicken. This is their symbol, citizens are sick with
them in all matches, ” Minister of Culture and Tourism of the region
Andrei Ermak was quoted as saying by interfax.ru.
“We told them that it’s by no means possible to come with a live chicken.
”But if the Nigerians are rooting for their team in other places, we
will of course advise them where the chicken can be bought. We are
ready to satisfy the most eccentric inquiries.”
Super Eagles fans believe that the chickens bring good luck to the team.
