Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has arrived Nigeria’s team camp in Abuja ahead of Friday’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against the Djurtus of Guinea Bissau, which is scheduled to take place at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja, Nigeria.
Media Officer of the Super Eagles, Babafemi Raji said that Osimhen, who had a flight delay in Lagos, joined the team in Abuja after Tuesday’s evening training session.

Olajire said tickets are also available at the Old Parade Ground, NFF’s former office at Wuse Zone 7 and other designated places which details will be announced on broadcast stations nationwide.
