The Super Eagles have adjusted their training schedule for a second time ahead of their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Tanzania following delays in the arrival of some invited players.
Nigeria’s opening training session, initially scheduled for Tuesday, has now been moved to 7pm Wednesday as several players encountered difficulties with their travel arrangements.
However, all invited players are expected to arrive and settle into camp before the rescheduled session as head coach Eric Chelle steps up preparations for the two crucial fixtures.
The repeated adjustments have disrupted the team’s preparations, with the technical crew working against time to get the players ready for the qualifying encounters.
The Super Eagles will host Tanzania in their Matchday Three fixture at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, on Friday, 13 November, before travelling for the return leg on Tuesday, 17 November.
Nigeria will be seeking maximum points from the two matches to strengthen their position in the qualifying campaign and boost their chances of securing a place at the 2027 AFCON.
