Super Eagles coaches and players had the privilege of meeting with the 2018 FIFA World Cup mascot, Zabivaka, on Tuesday.
The mascot represents a characteristic feature such as costume, flora and fauna of the host country, Russia.
More frequently one or more anthropomorphic characters is targeted at children with cartoon shows and other merchandise released to coincide with the competition.
Currently in the Eastern European nation preparing for the international friendly clash with Argentina, the three-time African champions took out some time to hang out with Zabivaka.
