NIGERIA: “SUPER EAGLES"
尼日利亞:非洲雄鷹
Erstwhile known as the "Green Eagles," the nickname comes from the eagle perched atop a soccer ball on the Nigerian national football team crest. Nigeria adopted the name after a controversial loss at the hands of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in the 1988 Africa Cup of Nations final.
尼日利亞隊以前被稱為“綠色雄鷹”,這個綽號來源于尼日利亞國家足球隊胸標上那只站在足球頂端的雄鷹。1988年非洲國家杯決賽中,尼日利亞隊在爭議聲中負于非洲雄獅喀麥隆隊,之后便開始使用這個綽號。
