After two sessions at the Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola Stadium, the Golden Eaglets have settled down in Abeokuta ahead of their Under-17 African Championship qualifier against Congo DR this weekend.
The NFF had picked Abeokuta for the game due to the on-going renovation work at the U. J Esuene Stadium in Calabar and the team was whisked to the rock city in a seamless transition from Lagos upon their arrival from Kinshasa on Monday.
Now staying at the Intercontinental Suites, they had a brief session Monday evening to shake off jet lag after about 12-hour flight from Kinshasa via Nairobi to Lagos and resumed their routine training only on Tuesday.
“We have no problem playing here in Abeokuta in spite of the fact that our fans in Calabar would miss us,” said Prince Udofia, the team coordinator.
“In fact, we are gratefully to the Ogun State Football Association led by Alhaji Ganiu Majekodunmi who has ensured that all is well since our arrival here.”
