Super Eagles to train behind closed doors

Journalists and fans have been barred from the Super Eagles training as the team intensifies preparation for Saturday's 2021 AFCON qualifying fixture against the Benin Republic.

With all 24 invited players now in camp, the first training session which was open to the media and fans alike took place on Tuesday, March 23, 2021.

Henceforth the team will train behind closed doors as they gear up for the big clash.

The players and their officials will depart Lagos for Cotonou on Friday morning.

Saturday’s match at the Charles de Gaulle Stadium in Porto-Novo will kick off by 5pm.

Nigeria lead the qualifying group with eight points, while Benin are a point behind.
