Russia has denied Nigeria\u2019s football fans the opportunity to bring live chickens into the stadium when the Super Eagles are playing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

As reported by Russia\u2019s Interfax.ru, <\/em>Minister of Culture and Tourism of the\u00a0Kaliningrad region, Andrei Ermak told reporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur information center MCH-2018 receives a lot of various questions: fans from Nigeria asked if it\u2019s possible to go to the stadium with a chicken, it\u2019s their symbol, the citizens are sick with them at all matches, we told them that to pass a live chicken, in any case, it is impossible \u201c, \u2013 said Ermak.<\/p>\n

At the same time, he noted that if the Nigerians are rooting for their team in other places, \u201cwe will, of course, advise them where the chicken can be bought.\u201d<\/p>\n

We are ready to satisfy the most eccentric inquiries,\u201d the regional minister added.<\/p>\n

The supporters club of the Super Eagles have been known to go into stadiums with a live chicken, which is one of the ways they cheer on the team to victory.<\/p>\n

Nigeria fans were turned away from Ellis Park in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2010 after their demand to take chickens, painted in the nation\u2019s colours into the stadium was refused.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
