The Super Eagles contingent will arrive in Ghana with a Chattered flight for their 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers play-off first leg clash against the Black Stars of Ghana, according to NFF Media officer Ayo Olu Ibidapo.
The Black Stars will host Nigeria in the first leg of the 2022 World Cup playoff on March 25 at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium.
The second leg fixture comes of on March 29, 2022, at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja.
Interim coach Austin Eguavoen is expected to arrive with a 23-man squad for the crucial encounter against their West Africa rivals.
Speaking ahead of the game, Ibidapo told Oyerepa FM, “”We have already started serious preparations for the game against Ghana. We will arrive in Ghana with a Chartered flight.”
“Nigerians need this World Cup more than Ghana, that Golden team of Ghana is appreciated and respected though. There is no Asamoah Gyan in the Ghana squad.

The Super Eagles will open camp on Sunday, March 20.
