SUPER EAGLES camp opens May 6

Camp of the Super Eagles will be opened in Abuja on May 6,to prepare the team for the international friendly match against Peru in Lima on May 23,and also for the upcoming African Nations Cup and World Cup qualifiers slated for June. The Super Eagles were also scheduled to play Gabon in a friendly,but agreeing on a suitable date for both countries has shelved the game indefinitely,because of a hectic qualifying series.Both countries are expected to work out a beneficial date that will not hamper their qualifiers. Coach Stephen Keshi,who is expected back in the country on Sunday to release the list of players to execute the programme,has rejected the idea of a foreign camp in Faro Portugal.Keshi prefers to prepare his team here in Nigeria “for me,I don’t think there is any need for that,for now because what we should all be thinking about for now is how the team will qualify for the two competitions ahead of us.The matches we’re going to play in the qualifiers are against African teams but I won’t say much about that until I’m briefed by the NFF.” Nigeria will play three crucial qualifiers against Namibia, Rwanda and Malawi in June.
