The
Nigerian national team arrived in Addis Ababa on Saturday morning for
Sunday’s 2014 World Cup qualifying first leg play-off match against
Ethiopia.
Their
chartered Ethiopian Airlines plane touched down at the Bole
International Airport at 8:50am with a delegation which included
government officials, members of the Nigeria Football Federation,
Nigeria Supporters Club and press.
Players
of the national team were warmly received by locals at the airport as
they made their way to the team bus and onwards to their hotel.
There
were chants of ‘Moses’ and ‘Mikel’ from among the pack of locals that
welcomed them at the airport as they sought for photographs with the
Nigerian stars.
The
Nigerian supporters’ delegation also filled the air with jolly good
Nigerian music as they announced their arrival for the crucial World Cup
qualifier.
The 100 supporters from Nigeria will do battle against a partisan home crowd expected to be 40,000 in the National Stadium.
