Eagles arrive Kigali for CHAN

Nifemi Daniel

Ahead of the 2016 African Nations Championship that kicks off on Saturday, the Super Eagles on Friday arrived in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda.

The Sunday Oliseh team played with Angola and the match ended goalless, before beating Ivory Coast by a lone goal ending their warm up games practice played in Pretoria.

Nigeria will play her first game against Niger on Monday at the Stade de Kigali at 6 pm local time, after group opponents Tunisia and Guinea must have played their 3 pm fixture.

Ivory Coast, Sudan and South Africa have played host in previous tournaments since 2009.
