S’Eagles Eye Durban For Camp

Super Eagles’ dependable left wing balk, Taye Taiwo, in action. A lot is expected of the team in South Africa and Angola.

Nigeria have jettisoned plans to camp in Namibia ahead of next month’s Africa Cup of Nations.

Instead, the two-time champions may have tentatively settled on World Cup host city, Durban, where they will play one of their World Cup games.

Head coach, Shuaibu Amodu and executive committee member, Taiwo Ogunjobi, were in Namibia last week to assess and pick a suitable camping site, but came away dissatisfied with the condition of the pitches on offer.

Competent sources told Tidesports’ source that the only good pitch was at the country’s national stadium “But that is an artificial turf.”

The NFF Board will now meet to consider other options, but it is understood that a combined Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup camp may be settled for in South Africa, with Durban the top choice due to its near equidistance from the other two centres where the Eagles will play their World Cup games.
