Preparations are approaching top gear as Nigeria get ready to make the trip to Porto Novo, where the Super Eagles battle the Benin Republic for a place in the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
Next on the schedule is the Crocodile of Lesotho on March 30th at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, the last Group L match of this qualifying campaign for the three-time African champions.
A point from those two games will guarantee Nigeria’s spot at the continent’s premier competition in Cameroon next year.
Ahead of the games, the Super Eagles opened camp in Lagos, and the light training in the gym started on Monday morning, with full training to commence on Tuesday evening.
