The players were put to their pace as they had a second warm-up session on Tuesday, at 8 pm Costa Rican time, which is 3 am Nigerian time.

They are expected to observe Wednesday as a rest day and will have their last training on Thursday morning before the game against Los Ticos at 8 pm Costa Rican local time, and 3 am Nigerian time, at the National Stadium in San Jose.

According to Salisu: "The players have responded well in the two warm-up sessions we have had since arriving San Jose. I have confidence in the lads to give their best in the game on Thursday."  

The contingent made up of a playing squad of 18 players, two coaches and other team officials were led by NFF Executive Committee Member, Otunba Sunday Dele-Ajayi.
