With barely four days to the Brazil 2014 World Cup Draw in Rio de Janerio, Brazil, Nigeria's head coach, Stephen Keshi, has said that his team is unfazed by the big names and as such he is not bothered about which countries Nigeria is drawn with.

Keshi, in a chat with supersport.com, noted that he was not particular about the seeded nations he would prefer his team to face in the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, noting that like the other 31 nations that have qualified, the Super Eagles had equal opportunities of progressing as far as possible at the Mundial.

"First it is good we have qualified for the World Cup which is the main aim at the start of the qualifiers. For me, I'm open to facing any team at the World Cup as we cannot determine who and who we want to play against," he said.

"All 32 countries have equal opportunities because they are the best from the different continents of the world at the moment. Same goes for Nigeria. I believe we have a team that can do well and go as far as the final.

"Our concern right now is to do well at the World Cup next year. The World Cup is always a big stage to show what you're capable of doing as a player and as a team. But right now we will concern ourselves with preparing for the World Cup rather than bother about who our opponents will be. By next month we will know that and from there we will know what to do," Keshi told supersport.com on Friday.

Brazil, Spain, Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Belgium, Switzerland and Uruguay are the seeded teams in Pot One and Nigeria's Super Eagles could be drawn alongside one of them for the group stage.

"We welcome any team we are drawn against and we will be prepared to give our best," Keshi reacted when told about the seeded teams.

The African champions are likely to be seeded in Pot Three alongside the continent's four other representatives, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Algeria and Cameroon.

The delegation of Nigeria for the 2014 FIFA World Cup draws is expected to leave the country tomorrow for Bahia in Brazil where the event will take place.

The FIFA World Cup draws will hold on December 6, while the finals will run from June 12 to July 13, 2014.
