Point News247 reports that Nigeria’s national football team,
Super Eagles, have arrived Cameroon ahead of the TotalEnergies AFCON 2021 billed to kick off on Sunday, January 9, 2022.
Super Eagles arrived aboard a chartered Air Peace from the Nnamdi Azikiwe international airport in Abuja with 25 players ahead of Nigeria’s opener against Egypt on Tuesday.
These 25 include all invited players except for three which include; Venezia’s Tyrone Ebuehi and Jamilu Collins of Paderborn, while Saudi Arabia-based Odion Ighalo has been ruled out completely after his club, Al-Shabab, barred him from the competition due to a clause in his contract with the club.
“We have arrived Garoua, here for the prize”, the team confirmed their safe arrival via the team’s official Instagram page late Wednesday night.
Coach Augustine Eguavoen and his team will continue their preparations ahead of that epic opener against AFCON’s most decorated team, the Pharaohs of Egypt.
