NIGERIA: “SUPER EAGLES"
尼日利亚：非洲雄鹰
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.
尼日利亚队以前被称为“绿色雄鹰”，这个绰号来源于尼日利亚国家足球队胸标上那只站在足球顶端的雄鹰。1988年非洲国家杯决赛中，尼日利亚队在争议声中负于非洲雄狮喀麦隆队，之后便开始使用这个绰号。
