Super Eagles arrive Nairobi rejecting lodging arrangements made by host Nation, Kenya.
The Super Eagles have arrived in
Nairobi ahead of their crucial World Cup qualifier match with Kenya Wednesday amidst
several controversies one of which is that the team rejected the host's
accommodation arrangements.
The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations
champions arrived at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport early Tuesday and
were received by Kenyan football officials.
Their arrival however was not
without controversy as the Nigerian side rejected the arranged transport and
accommodation offered by Kenya and instead opted to use their own.
The Super Eagles were billed to
stay at the 680 hotel located within Nairobi’s central business district but on
arrival opted to go for the La Mada hotel located nearer the Moi International
Sports Centre Kasarani where the match will take place.
Nigeria had over
the weekend played a friendly match against Mexico in Houston, Texas where they
drew 2-2. And immediately had to leave for their training camp in Germany, head
coach for the Eagles expressed his dissatisfaction with travel arrangement
earlier in the week and stated that their performance may be affected because
of the long distance journey.
