Meanwhile, players and officials of the Super Eagles are pouring encomiums on the Nigeria Football Federation for doing the needful to secure the world–renowned Avita Resort in Bad Tatzmannsdorf, Austria for the team’s final camping programme before the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup finals.

“This place makes a whole lot of sense. I am truly impressed. The Nigeria Football Federation has improved so many things around the team, in terms of organisation and logistics.

“Whoever chose this place paid attention to detail. We are happy here,” Captain Mikel John Obi told thenff.com.

The Super Eagles, who arrived the Avita Resort on Sunday evening to a very warm reception by the people of Bad Tatzmannsdorf, will spend eight days at the resort perfecting strategies for the FIFA World Cup finals.

On Wednesday morning, the Eagles will travel the one hour distance by road to Vienna, where they play the Czech Republic at the Rudolf Tonn Stadion. They will return to the resort immediately after the match
