Pharaohs hit Abuja Wednesday on chattered flight

The Pharaohs of Egypt are expected to fly to Abuja Wednesday for the first leg of the ANC qualifying match between them and the Super Eagles billed for the Ahmadu Bello Stadium Friday.

Super Eagles Secretary, Dayo Enebi said the Egyptians will land at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport aroundnoon and will then proceed by road to Kaduna.

He said the arrangement became necessary because the Kaduna Airport does not have the facility for International flight.

Enebi said that every arrangement has been put in place to accord the Egyptians a warm reception.
