Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has said he will be visiting Garoua–the venue of the Group D AFCON matches.

Nigeria were paired against Egypt, Sudan, and Guinea-Bissau.

The city, located North of Cameroon will host at least two games of the Super Eagles.

“We are going to Garoua – the venue of our Group D matches, to check out the training pitch, hotels, transport, stadium, and weather conditions.”

“It will be very important to be well prepared. I think Garoua is not far from Nigeria, so we are happy that we will be playing before our fans.

“We have to do everything to be ready for this big tournament and have to put up our best performance as possible and see where it will take us to,” he said.

Rohr led the Super Eagles to a third-place finish at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, and they will kick start their 2022 campaign against the Egyptians.
