Nigeria senior national team will depart the Nnamdi Azikwe
International Airport for Congo on Thursday for a win-or-burst 2015
Afcon qualifier on a chartered flight, according to officials.
Congo entertains the Super Eagles on Saturday afternoon in Point
Noire in a crucial Afcon qualifier, which could well determine the fate
of the African champions.
Plans have been concluded with Discovery Air to airlift the coach Stephen Keshi-tutored side to Congo.

The match away to Congo is one of two but crucial qualiers for Nigeria,
who host South Africa on Wednesday, November 19, in Uyo. The Eagles are
expected back in the country immediately after the match against Congo’s
Red Devils.
Nigeria are third in Group A with four points, three points behind
second-placed Congo who ran away with a 3-2 win in the first leg of the
tie played in Calabar.
Victory by a 2-goal margin is sufficient for Nigeria to topple Claude Le Roy’s men on the standings.
