The home-based Super Eagles have touched down in Rwanda, ahead of the fourth African Nations Championship (CHAN), which begins this weekend.
Nigeria’s delegation was made up of 23 players and 12 officials.
They landed at the Kigali International Airport Friday afternoon, after a three-hour flight from Johannesburg.
“We have arrived. Everyone is in the mood and there is robust self-belief among the players. They are raring to go,” Media Officer of the team, Toyin Ibitoye, told the Nigeria Football Federation website.
The Eagles will be lodging at the Hill View Hotel in Kigali, the same hotel where the Super Eagles stayed for a 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against the Amavubi four years ago.
Their first game will be against Niger Republic on Monday at 6pm.
Sunday Oliseh’s men will then take on Tunisia on Friday and Guinea on Tuesday.
