The idea, according to team officials, is to afford the Super Eagles an ample opportunity to acclamatise and prepare adequately for the tournament in which they are one of the favourites.
Team Spokes man Toyin Ibitoye told NAN that the Eagles will camp in Asaba where they would play a a friendly before jetting out to Egypt to play another friendly with Senegal.“The team will have few weeks of camping in Asaba, but we want to be in Egypt early to start preparations. “There is a need to understand that AFCON is coming up at the end of European football season, so the trick is to get the players fresh and keep them away from injuries.
Ibitoye said that Egypt remained the tournament favourites considering the fact that they were the host nation and also have a good squad.
