Having recorded a 4-0 Victory at home against Libya in the 2019 African Nations cup qualifying match, the Nigerian Super Eagles squad is billed to play the second leg of the double-fixture on Tuesday, October 16 in Sfax, Tunisia.
However, the team will not leave for the game until just over 24 hours to kick-off. The Super Eagles will therefore spend two nights in Uyo, as they are not scheduled to fly out of the city until Monday morning.
The initial plan of taking the Eagles to Abuja after Saturday’s game in Uyo has been jettisoned, as the squad will now stay over till they fly out direct to Sfax.
This development may not be unconnected with rave reviews trailing the atmosphere in Uyo, as Eagles technical adviser, Gernot Rohr and his players have been hailing the facilities and packages on offer.
Rohr even stated categorically during one of his press conferences that he and his players are grateful to Akwa Ibom State governor, Emmanuel Udom for accorded them a warm reception and making their stay very comfortable.
Consequently, the Eagles will now stay two more nights at Ibom Hotel & Resort, while also perfecting their strategies at the practice pitch of Godswill Akpabio International Stadium before they fly out to Sfax.
