The Chipolopolo won their opening Group E match against Congo Brazzaville via a resounding 4-2 result. The fans of the team were present in large numbers to support their idols when they faced their first opponents.
The turnout for the home turf match was extremely high which boosted the confidence of the team and led them to give their best to secure this victory. Many of these will not be present at the venue of the second match to support the team in person.
However, the fans and admirers of the football shared their best wishes to the team through social media. Niger is using Morocco as its home base as they have no FIFA approved stadium in their country.
