Officials have informed SCORENigeria that a chartered flight to bring the Super Eagles back to Nigeria Friday morning after the 2025 AFCON qualifier against Benin in Abidjan the previous day.
The chartered flight will fly into Abidjan on match day Thursday and the following day make its way back home.
This special would have returned same day to Nigeria but for the fact that the airport in Uyo cannot accommodate late night flights.
Super Eagles call-ups for the Benin game will fly directly into Abidjan for the match from their foreign bases.
They battle Benin Thursday in Abidjan before they welcome Rwanda to Uyo four days later to round up their qualifying campaign for the 2025 AFCON.
They top Group D with 10 points from four matches.
