Nigeria Olympic team are scheduled for a rematch with Honduras in the United States of America.

Dream Team VI, who came from behind to beat Honduras 3-1 at the recent Suwon International Tournament in South Korea, will again tackle the Central Americans on July 27 during their training camp in Atlanta, USA.

Nigeria are drawn against Sweden, Japan and Colombia at the Rio Olympics in August, while Honduras are grouped with Algeria, Portugal and Argentina.

The Nigeria U-23s are also billed to face Mexico on July 2 and local side Charleston Battery FC on July 16.

Mexico are in Group C of the Rio Olympics with Fiji, South Korea and Germany.

However, the team are expected to resume training camp in Abuja today, officials have disclosed.

The team went on a short recess after the Suwon International Tournament in South Korea, where they lost to hosts Korea and Denmark, before they defeated Honduras.

The Dream Team VI are scheduled to apply for entry visas to the United States and United Kingdom on their return to camp after an initial arrangement to do so earlier this month was shelved.

The team will train in both the United States and America and England prior to the Rio Olympics in August
