Super Eagles to train on artificial pitch in Warri ahead of Congo clash

General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Musa Amadu, has hinted that the Super Eagles will train in Warri, Delta State, in preparation for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Congo in Point-noire.
Amadu revealed this while meeting with the team’s technical crew and support staff in Abuja.
“The pitch in Warri where the Super Eagles will train is an artificial pitch and should provide the required feel and match conditions as the pitch where the game will be played in Congo,” Amadu stated.
“This is a very crucial game and we cannot afford to take anything for granted.
“After the game in Congo, the team will then proceed to Uyo to prepare for the last qualifier against South Africa.
“The Nigeria Football Federation is working round the clock to ensuring that all the team needs to make a success of the November assignments are provided so that the Super Eagles are able to defend their title in Morocco.
“For us, the real challenge is to go to Congo and get the desired result that will put our qualification aspirations back on the right track.”
Nigeria need to defeat the Congolese with a clear two-goal margin, to move ahead of the Red Devils in Group A. The match will be played on November 15.
