Match Kick-off Is 5pm
Nigeria’s Super Eagles and the Pharaohs of Egypt, who were expected in Dubai on Tuesday evening will share the same accommodation facilities in Samaya Hotel and Resorts in Dubai for their friendly game which comes up on tomorrow.

Match organisers say there was no need for separate hotels as the game is a friendly game and should create an atmosphere of friendship between officials and players of both teams. NFF officials are also expected in town on Wednesday ahead of the encounter on Thursday and they will also be quartered in Samaya Hotel.

Facilities in the hotel are quite commendable, as it’s a five-star hotel, complete with gyming  and other facilities that sportsmen require to stay in tune for match situations.

The game proper between Nigeria and Egypt will be played 8pm Dubai time and that is 5pm Nigerian time, officials of the organisers also confided in us.

The stadium to be used will be decided as there are four international stadia in Dubai and none has yet been picked, as both countries have to agree on the stadium of choice. Despite that the Super Eagles have already started training in one of the stadiums ahead of the encounter.
