President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday hosted the Super Eagles squad and their officials at the presidential villa for a farewell meeting ahead of their trip to Russia for the World Cup.

The team was led by NFF President, Amaju Pinnick.

It was an opportunity for the president to wish the three–time African champions well on their way to a sixth appearance at the 2018 World Cup.

The meeting is coming hours before the eagles are due to fly to London for a pre-World Cup friendly against England’s Three Lions at Wembley Stadium on Saturday evening.

From London, the delegation will fly into Bad Tatzmannsdorf, a city in Austria where they will spend eight days at the world–renowned Avita Resort before flying to Russia.

In-between the final camping in Austria, the team will play a final pre-World Cup friendly against the Czech Republic at the Rudolf Tonn Stadium (just outside Vienna) next Wednesday.
