Supersand Eagles duo, Isiaka Olawale and Abu Azeez are ready to face
Libya in their first game at this year's Fifa Beach Soccer World Cup
qualification for Africa in El Jadida, Morocco on Wednesday.
The tournament also serves as the African championship.
Nigeria captain, Olawale, said the team are ready "physically and mentally."
The Dolphins midfielder also admitted that he has no knowledge about the Libyan beach soccer national team but made it clear that claiming the full points is uppermost in his mind.
"As usual we have prepared physically and mentally. We are just looking on to God Almighty to crown it with victory which I believe He will do for us.
"I don't know anything about them, because they have appeared at the Nations Cup once. Really I don't need to know them. Mine is to get the three points and go my way, but mind you we have respect for them as our opponents and we don't fear them," said the Supersand Eagles skipper to supersport.com.
Azeez, who plays for Kwara United in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL), has promised fireworks against Libya at the Mazagan Beach Resort, El Jadida.
The youngster told supersport.com that he also wants to replicate his free-scoring form at the 2012 Copa Lagos beach tournament during the African championship.
"I know this is a different tournament from the Copa Lagos but having played against some of the top teams in the world, all I can do is put up a repeat performance or an even better here (in Morocco) starting with the game against Libya," he said.
