The Super Eagles have arrived in Vienna, Austria for the final phase of their camping for the 2018 World Cup beginning in a fortnight.
Led by head coach Gernot Rohr and NFF Vice-president Shehu Dikko, the Eagles his the Avita Resort base camp Sunday evening where they’ll train for the next couple of days before jetting off to Russia for the World Cup proper.
Earlier Sunday, Rohr whittled down the team to final 23 players with Mikel Agu and Ola Aina axed from the side.
Taking to their Twitter handle, @theNFF, the Nigeria Football Federation said the team was specially welcomed by locals at the base.
They’ll be in camp for a couple of days before taking on Czech
Republic in their final pre-World Cup game June 6, where Rohr will be
looking to correct some of the obvious lapses evident in the 2-1 defeat
to England Saturday.
It will be the first encounter between the Eagles and Czech, and victory will be only Nigeria’s second win in the build-up to the World Cup after edging Poland 1-0 in March.
