Super Eagles of Nigeria will train behind closed doors on Sunday evening ahead of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier with the Warriors of Zimbabwe in Uyo on Tuesday.
According to the media officer Promise Efoghe, the team’s Monday training session will, however, be opened for the mandatory 15 minutes, which will be shortly after the official press conference.
He added that Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has placed restrictions in and around the team’s Four Point Hotel camp in Ikot Ikenne.
No visitors or journalists are allowed as Chelle is demanding full concentration from the players ahead of Tuesday’s crucial clash.
While the Super Eagles will head into Tuesday’s contest on the back of a 2-0 win against Rwanda in Kigali, Zimbabwe will hope to get their first win in the qualifying campaign.
After five games played so far in the qualifiers, the Warriors have lost two and drawn three.
When both teams met in the first leg, played in Rwanda due to inadequate facilities in Zimbabwe, it ended 1-1.
Friday’s win against Rwanda took the Super Eagles to fourth place in six-team African qualifying Group C on six points, while Zimbabwe are bottom with three points.
Zimbabwe will be eyeing a first victory against Nigeria since 1981, when they won a friendly match 2-0.
