Algeria To Inspect Uyo Facilities

 

Ahead of the November 12 World Cup qualifier with Nigeria's Super Eagles, the Algerians are sending a five-man delegation led by a top FA official to inspect facilities in Uyo.  The delegation will be received in Lagos by the Nigeria Football Federation Vice-President Sheyi Akinwunmi from where they will fly to Uyo to see the stadium, training pitch and hotels as well as make transport arrangements for their fans and contingent. The delegation will be in Nigeria from October 12- to October 15.
