‎Ten Super Eagles’ players had arrived at the camp since Tuesday for the double-header fixture.

‎Daily NewsCraft reports that the first leg of the tie will be played at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, by 5:00 p.m. before the return fixture will be played at Amman Stadium in Zanzibar City on Tuesday.

‎After the first two matches, the Super Eagles are second in Group L with three points, following a 2-1 home win over Madagascar and a 3-0 away loss to Guinea-Bissau, who leads with six points.
