Visitors Not Welcome At Eagles’ Camp-NFF
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has warned anybody without genuine business with the Super Eagles to stay away from the team’s Eko Hotel camp.
The Super Eagles are camped in Eko Hotel ahead of the first of two Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifying matches against Central African Republic (CAR). The Eagles will meet CAR in Lagos on Thursday and face the same team again on October 10 in Douala, Cameroun.
Victory in both matches will give Nigeria an unassailable lead in Group C of the World Cup African qualifying series.
As at Monday evening, only four players were in the camp, but officials of the team said that they expect the number to swell to 20 later yesterday.
The players already in the camp are Russia-based Chidera Ejuke, Chidozie Awaziem, who plays in Portugal, Germany-based Jamilu Collins and goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi, who flew in from his South Africa base.
Coach Gernot Rohr and his assistants, as well as the back up staff are also in the camp.
The team is expected to take their preparation to the Teslim Balogun Stadium today following the expected arrival of 16 more players last night.
