Super Eagles become secretive ahead of round of 16 game vs Tunisia, train behind closed doors

Published: January 22, 2022

The members of Nigeria senior national team, the Super Eagles trained at the annex of the Rumdie Adjia Stadium in Garoua on Friday evening, ahead of their round of 16 tie with 2004 champions, Tunisia, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

Interestingly, under the orders of the Nigeria Football Federation, journalists were given only the first fifteen minutes to have a feel of the arena to take photos of the players.

Only photo journalists could utilize the short period as there was no room for interviews owing to the fact that the players were gathered for ball work as at 1710 hours.

The entire players were around and the team's entire technical crew led by the Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation, Augustine Eguavoen were also spotted.

The starting lineup ahead of the clash with Tunisia is not known for now but it is most likely that the team set up in their first two games with Egypt and Sudan might still play out.

Nigeria and Tunisia have met nineteen times at senior level and Sunday's engagement will be the twentieth.

The Super Eagles will train one more time on Saturday and it goes without saying that onlookers will not be allowed to feast their eyes on the players.
