The delegation of Nigeria’s national under 20 male football team arrived in the city of Lodz afternoon.
Director of Communications at Nigeria Football Federation NFF, Ademola Olajire, said the team were in the Polish city ahead of their FIFA Under 20 World Cup Round of 16 game on Monday.
The Flying Eagles are billed to face fellow African flagbearers Senegal.
Nigeria had finished third in Group D and only qualified as one of the best four third–place finishers in the six groups.
Senegal, Africa’s vice-champions, finished at the top of Group A after two wins and a draw.
This early knockout round confrontation between Nigeria and Senegal means depleted African presence going forward.
Already, South Africa’s Amajita are back in Johannesburg following group stage elimination.
The other African team, Mali, will have to battle Argentina at the same stage Tuesday evening.
