Russian Minister of Culture and Tourism, Andrei Ernak, has rejected the request made by Nigerian supporters to bring in live chicken into the Kaliningrad Stadium for the Saturday match between Nigeria and Croatia.
Ernak said, “Our information center FM-2018 receives a lot of various questions. So, fans from Nigeria asked whether it is possible to go to the stadium with a chicken. This is their symbol, citizens are seen with them in all matches.
“We told them that it’s by no means possible to come with a live chicken. But if the Nigerians are rooting for their team in other places, we will of course advise them where the chicken can be bought”.
