Nigerians itching to know when their darling national team will play the international friendly against Peru on can now heave a sigh of relief and probably plan ahead for the game which has been scheduled for 8pm Peru time, which is about 2:00a.m Nigerian time (Thursday) morning.

Eagles Secretary Dayo Enebi, who was in the advance party for the friendly said the host picked the time that suits them and he expects one of NFF broadcast partners;  African Independent Television (AIT), to transmit the game live.

There already seem to be a frenzy about the friendly by Lima residents as quite a sizeable number of them came out to catch a glimpse of the Nigerian side when they arrived the airport, on arrival at the hotel and during their meals. That has expectedly put some burden on Stephen Keshi and his crew.

The coach however, takes consolation in the fact that the players know themselves well and it won’t  be difficult adjusting to play as a team after just one training session. “We will do well against Peru, that is why I have told them to take enough rest and tune their minds to the game at hand and forget the rigours of the trip”, he said.
