Nigerian supporters refuted rumors they requested permission to bring along live chickens while attending the Nigeria national team's matches during the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

According to KweseESPN's Colin Udoh, the Nigerian Football Supporters Club (NFSC) and Nigerian Eagles Supporters Club (NESC) both denied any knowledge of the request.

"That is ridiculous," NFSC president Rafiu Ladipo said. "I have been leading this group for decades, and we have never carried a live chicken into any stadium. The only things we carry are our musical instruments and we pray. Prayer is the only charm we have.
