By Farouk Mohammed

President Muhammadu Buhari will on Wednesday receive the Super Eagles contingent for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Recall that the meeting was earlier billed to hold on Tuesday evening but will now take place at the Federal Executive Council chambers at 10am, just before the commencement of the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting.

Youth and Sports Minister Solomon Dalung will present the team to President Buhari, hours before they fly to London aboard a chartered aircraft for another pre-World Cup friendly with England on Saturday.

From London, the delegation will fly into Bad Tatzmannsdorf in Austria where they will spend eight days at the world –renowned Avita Resort before flying to Russia.

Also, the team will play a final pre-World Cup friendly against the Czech Republic at the Rudolf Tonn Stadium next week Wednesday.

Nigeria are in Group D of the competition with Argentina, Iceland and Croati.
