CHAN 2018: Eagles to arrive Morocco on Monday

CHAN 2018: The Home Based Super Eagles team are now likely to arrive their base in Morocco ahead of the CAF championship on Monday, 8th January.

Earlier Plans to have at least a week’s acclimatisation training in Morocco before their CHAN 2018 opener against Rwanda on January 15 appears to have hit a barrier.

It was gathered from a football official that the Nigeria Football Federation is yet to sort out “a few things” concerning the well being of the CHAN 2018 team in Morocco.

But hopefully the Super Eagles may now leave on Monday right on time for their first game against Rwanda who have been camping in Tunisia since January 1.

They also played a game against Sudan yesterday in Sousse, Tunisia.

“The team is still around (because) the NFF is trying to put a few things in order. It would have been good if we were in Morocco for at least a week to get used to the weather in Tangier… It is well,” said the official yesterday.

However, team captain, Ikechukwu Ezenwa assured that the players will not let the country down even as they expect tough CHAN 2018 competition from their group C opponents.

“First of all, we are going to take each game as it comes, we have had very good preparation so far and the unity in the team is awesome and with that, I am confident of a better outing than the last time in Rwanda.

“Rwanda, Libya and Equatorial Guinea are very good sides when it comes to the CHAN 2018 tournament. Look at the last edition, Rwanda were very tough and they performed better than us.”
