The
Nigeria Football Federation have announced that the Super Eagles will
train in Warri,Delta State,ahead of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations
qualifier against Congo in Point-noire.
General Secretary of
the Nigeria Football Federation,Musa Amadu dropped this hint while
meeting with the Super Eagles technical crew and support staff inside
his office in Abuja.
Nigeria is billed to confront the Red Devils of Congo on the 15th of November in Point-Noire in a must win game that will be played on an artificial pitch.
"The
pitch in Warri where the Super Eagles will train is an artificial pitch
and should provide the required feel and match conditions as the pitch
where the game will be played in Congo,"Amadu revealed."This is a very
crucial game and we cannot afford to take anything for granted.
"After the game in Congo,the team will then proceed to Uyo to prepare for the last qualifier against South Africa.
"The
Nigeria Football Federation is working round the clock to ensuring that
all the team needs to make a success of the November assignments are
provided so that the Super Eagles are able to defend their title in
Morocco.
"For us,the real challenge is to go to Congo and get
the desired result that will put our qualification aspirations back on
the right track,"Amadu added.
The Super Eagles will need to
beat Congo with a clear 2 goal margin or get a higher scoreline of
victory than Congo got in Calabar to be ahead of the Red Devils in Group
A after the November 15 clash.
