Top officials of the team have told MTNFootball.com that today’s game against FC Rotterdam in Faro, Portugal, will be closed to the public.
“The Eagles game against Rotterdam is behind closed door so there is no way Nigerians may be able to watch the game and after that game we head to South Africa later,” an official has said.
The Eagles have drawn both of their pre-AFCON warm-up matches, 1-1 with Catalonia and 0-0 with fellow 2013 Nations Cup finalists Cape Verde. The Eagles will depart Portugal on January 16 and arrive South Africa the following day. They open their Group C campaign on January 21 against Burkina Faso.
