The senior national team of Nigeria were pushed into having a light warm up session at their hotel premises ahead of tomorrow’s world cup qualifiers game against South Africa, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Fresh from beating Rwanda 1-0 at the Godswill Akpabio stadium in Uyo, the team arrived South Africa for their next game in the series late due to a delay in granting them a landing permit for the private aircraft that conveyed them.
They had a stop over in Angola to refuel, before proceeding to South Africa where they once again experienced a delay that made them to spend two hours at the airport undergoing passport checks and other immigration procedure.
After the conclusion of that at the airport, they drove for over an hour the their hotel around 6:30pm, and were told the stadium won’t be available for them to have a brief session.
However they will have a feel of the stadium later today, but prior to that evening session which is expected to be light they had a warm up session to relax their muscles before heading out for full training by 6pm Nigerian time.
