The Nigeria FA have announced the country’s U20 World Cup team will now depart for Portugal training camp on Saturday.

The Flying Eagles were earlier scheduled to depart the country Thursday night from Port Harcourt.

NFF acting general secretary, Musa Amadu, said in Abuja that the NFF opted for a new arrangement because they did not want the team to travel in batches and on different airlines.

“We have to re-schedule the team’s travel arrangement for logistics reasons. We didn’t want the team travelling in two batches and on different airlines.

“The new arrangement is for the team to travel on Saturday from Lagos aboard Lufthansa Airline, and stop over in Frankfurt before connecting Faro in Portugal,” said Amadu.

Amadu also confirmed that the arrangement for a friendly between the Flying Eagles and the Portugal U-20 team in Lisbon on July 13 is firmly in place.

“We are also working at getting two or three more friendly games for the team while they are in Portugal,” he said.
