Zambia Chipolopolo arrives Nigeria ahead of WCQ match

The Chipolopolo of Zambia have arrived Nigeria ahead of the Russia 2018 World Cup qualifier match at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.

The Super Eagles won the first leg encounter in Ndola, Zambia by 2-1 with goals coming from Kelechi Iheanacho and Alex Iwobi to give Nigeria an advantage into the second leg.

A win for Nigeria will seal their spot in Russia 2018 World Cup. However, the Zambians could keep their hopes alive if they can upset Gernot Rohr and his men on Saturday.

Both teams stand a chance to benefit from the bonuses of qualification for a World Cup.

Nigeria or Zambia gets to take home a minimum of $12 million for the qualifying team. The bonus is set to increase if the qualifying nation gets to the knockout stage of the World Cup.

Nigeria got eliminated at the round of 16 in Brazil 2014, losing to European champions France after qualifying behind Argentina in the group stage.

Super Eagles captain, Mikel Obi, Victor Moses and others have all arrived Uyo in preparation ahead of the crucial game on Saturday.

The match kicks off 5:00P.M local time at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo.
