The Super Eagles will arrive in Ethiopia 24 hours before their first leg game in the World Cup qualifier playoffs against Ethiopia, the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) have disclosed.

The head of the NFF’s Technical Department, Emmanuel Ikpeme, said that the decision was taken in a bid to counteract the effect of high attitude on the player during the game.

“It is common knowledge that there are two ways of counter acting the effects of high altitude,” Ikpeme began. “Either to travel at least two weeks in advance, or go there 24 hours before the game,” Ikpeme told kickoff.com.

“Obviously we cannot have all our players for two weeks before the game, so they will all report in Nigeria, train here and then fly to Ethiopia on a chartered aircraft that will convey our entire delegation.

“That will give them a chance to train on the pitch the day before and then play the game the next day.”

The date for the game is yet to be stated but it will play between October 11—15 in Addis Ababa.
