The friendly game against Corsica and the camping that should have followed were initially meant to prepare the national team for their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against South Africa on June 10 in Uyo.

But the camping will no longer hold as the players and officials will now return to Abuja after the Corsica game.

The official however added that the players will be given a few days off when they return, before the squad list for the 2019 AFCON qualifier against South Africa will be released.
