Officials have confirmed that Saturday’s African Nations Cup qualifying game between Sudan and Nigeria, will be played on the artificial turf of the Municipal Stadium in Khartoum.
“We have just been informed that the match will now be played on an artificial pitch and not natural one. That is why we are now training at the FIFA Goal Project,” africaFootball.com quoted Eagles’ co-ordinator, Emma Attah, as saying on Tuesday.
“It’s a late change, but we have to rise up to the challenge. We will play even on a concrete floor to win this match.”
According to Attah, the number of players in the Super Eagles camp in Abuja, has risen to 17, with the arrivals of Mikel Obi, Vincent Enyeama, Kenneth Omeruo, Emmanuel Emenike and Elderson Echeijile.
Stephen Keshi is understood to be clamouring for early departure to Sudan, to avoid fatigue among the players.
