Super Eagles yesterday arrived in London after departing Calabar earlier on a chartered flight for the international friendly game against Italy at Fulham’s Craven Cottage ground later today.
The Eagles had just few hours to rest after Saturday’s playoff with the Walya Ibex of Ethiopia before getting on the flight after they were hosted by Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) partner, Guinness, to a reception and media parley.
All the 21 players and the officials, including few members of the NFF also made the trip to London.
The African champions will be meeting the three-time World Champions for the first since 1994 World Cup when the Azzuris edged Eagles 2-1 in a second round game.
