Super Eagles assistant captain, William Troost-Ekong, has made it clear that the Nigerian team is in Russia strictly for business, not sightseeing, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Nigeria is set to face the Russian national team in an international friendly scheduled for Friday.

The team is already in Russia and has been intensifying preparations ahead of the highly anticipated encounter.

Speaking at a press conference, the Saudi-based defender expressed confidence in the team’s readiness to secure victory.

“This isn’t my first time in Moscow or Russia—I’ve played in Krasnodar, Volgograd, and other cities back in 2018,” Ekong said.

 “We took a brief walk around the city yesterday and visited Red Square, but make no mistake—we’re here to work. This is not a tourist trip. The coach and I have already gone over our game plan for the match.”
