Ahead of the showdown with Sudan on Saturday, the Super Eagles will train this evening at the Khartoum Stadium pitch, which will host the game between the two countries.

An Air Sudan flight took the Nigeria delegation to Sudan in the early hours of Friday, with the plane touching down on the tarmac at around 6:00am local time.

The squad skipped training on Friday morning but should practice at the match venue this evening as from 730 pm local time, per CAF regulations.

Nigeria defeated Sudan 4 - 0 in Omdurman when both countries faced off in a World Cup qualifier 13 years ago.

Third in Group A, the Super Eagles trail leaders Congo with five points while South Africa are three points ahead of the defending champions.
