Players and officials of Nigeria U23
team are expected to keep a visa appointment with the USA embassy on Thursday
in Abuja.
The U23s are to train in Atlanta,
USA, and Manchester in England prior to the Rio Olympics in August.
The team are expected back in the
country from an invitational tournament in South Korea on Wednesday afternoon.
They finished third at the
tournament after they lost their first two matches before they defeated
Honduras 3-1 in a final game.
Nigeria are drawn with Sweden, Japan
and Colombia at Rio 2016.
Nigeria won an historic Olympic
soccer Gold 20 years ago in Atlanta. They were also beaten to the Gold medal at
the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
