Nigeria’s Flying Eagles arrived in the city of Mendoza on Wednesday evening, four days before their opening match of the FIFA U20 World Cup finals against the Dominican Republic.
The team led
by Head Coach, Ladan Bosso touched down at Aero Puerto International Airport,
Mendoza and was received by NFF's Head of International Competitions, Dayo
Enebi Achor and officials of the Local Organising Committee of the
championship.
The Nigeria
Football Federation had set up a pre-World Cup training camp for the Flying
Eagles in Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina, where the team defeated
an Argentine second division team, Almirante and battled out a 3-3 draw with
fellow World Cup finalists Colombia in friendlies.
Nigeria, who
will be making their 13th appearance at the FIFA U20 World Cup finals, open
their World Cup campaign in group D against Dominican Republic on 21 May, and
will also play Italy and Brazil in that order in the group phase.
