The reigning African champions leaves for Brazil the next day cause they have a match three days later with tahiti to kick off their 2013 fifa confederations cup.

Uruguay is the next team on queue for the super eagles second confederations cup match on the 20th june 2013 and its rounded up with a classic of a match against almighty Spanish team featuring......u can feel in the gaps

So we have won the african cup but more work is ahead and we have to maintain our momentum to be classified among the best teams in the world.

Below is the full schedule

kenya vs nigeria 7 june 2013
namibia vs nigeria 14 june 2013
nigeria vs tahiti 17 june 2013
nigeria vs uruguay 20 june 2013
nigeria vs spain 23 june 2013

nigeria vs malawi 6th sept 2013(2014 world cup qualifiers continues)

I think the match against Namibia will be rescheduled because of it's closeness to the Confederations Cup. That game will likely be played in August.

for this team to become great they need to work on their goal scoring chances ,they always create wonderful chances only to end up with poor finishing.once this aspect of the attack is corrected i am sure they will be a team to beat in any competition

It doesn't need to be resheduled....actually nigeria needs that match to be in top shape to kickoff their championship! kind of a friendly match.....because europe will be on break by dat time and most players will be unfit cause they will only be doing indoor fitness training with their wives and Gfs then!

Erm.. Ideally, the Super Eagles have to be in Brazil at least 4 days to the tournament. The Namibia match takes place 3 days before Nigeria's opening match. The players would definitely be exhausted after playing on the 14th, boarding a flight for the long trip to South America on the 15th; then effectively having just one day of rest before matchday.

They can manage,they are professionals....a chartered flight can take them immidately after the namibia match to brazil!

European teams some times play like 4 matches under 10 days and still play at top strenght! It is professionally managed!

European teams can do so because most of their games are played in Europe. The flight time from Namibia to Brazil should be around 15-18 hrs non stop.
If you factor in jetlag, you would quickly realise that the Super Eagles need to be in Brazil days before their first match.
