Ahead of the FIFA international friendly game billed for 25th of March, the Nigeria Football Federation have confirmed that the delegation cranes of Uganda will arrive on Monday for their international friendly game against the Super Eagles of Nigeria in Uyo.
The Super Eagles were formerly meant to play Bolivia on the 26th of this month, before they pulled out owing to election insecurity, which has now been scheduled against Uganda on the 25th.
Players and officials on the delegation will fly into the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport aboard an Ethiopian Airline aircraft, and then connect to Uyo aboard an Aero Contractors flight.
The Cranes, who gave Ghana’s Black Stars a scare in the qualifying race for the 30th Africa Cup of Nations and had a chance to make the finals until they lost their last match in the race to Guinea, will be aiming for a first –ever victory on Nigerian soil.
The game will mark Vincent Enyeama's 100th game for the Super Eagles since making his debut in the team in 2002.
