The Super Eagles will hope to get in the needed
preparations if they are to topple the Red Devils in the battle of
Pointe Noire on November 15
The Nigeria Football Federation has said that the Super Eagles will
train in Warri, Delta State, ahead of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations
qualifier against Congo in Point-noire.General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation, Musa Amadu dropped this hint while meeting with the team’s technical crew and support staff inside in Abuja.
Nigeria are billed to confront Congo on the 15th of November in Point-Noire in a must-win game that will be played on an artificial pitch.
"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 revealed.
"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," Amadu added.
The Super Eagles need to beat Congo with a clear two goal margin or get a higher score line of victory than Congo 3-2 win in Calabar to be ahead of the Red Devils in Group A after the November 15 clash.
With four points, Nigeria are behind leaders South Africa (nine points) and Congo (seven points) but ahead of Sudan (three points) going into the final round of the qualifiers.
