The Super Eagles will, in the
first week of March, resume camping for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying
match against Kenya, which is slated for the U. J. Esuene Stadium, Calabar on Saturday, 23rd March,
2013.
NFF General Secretary, Barrister Musa Amadu confirmed on Tuesday that
the home boys will hit camp two weeks before the arrival of the overseas-based
professionals one week to the crucial game.
“Now that we are the champions of Africa, we know that every team will
prepare much harder whenever they are to play Nigeria. We don’t want to leave
ourselves open to any sucker punch. Getting to the top and staying there
requires a lot of hard work,” Amadu said.
Super Eagles’ Head Coach Stephen Keshi is expected to release the list of his pick
for the match after a meeting with the NFF Technical Committee.
African champions Nigeria currently top the Group F of the African
series for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, with four points from a 1-0 home
defeat of Namibia and a 1-1 draw against Malawi in Blantyre in June 2012.
