Nigeria vs Zambia: Chipolopolo arrive in Abuja

The Zambian national team, have arrived in Abuja, ahead of Saturday’s 2018 World Cup qualifier against Nigeria, at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.

They will spend the night in Abuja, where they will be lodged at the prestigious Bolton White Hotel, before they fly out to Uyo on Thursday.

Zambia need at least a draw to keep their hope of qualifying for next year’s World Cup alive, after they managed back-to-back victories over Algeria during the last round of games.

The Super Eagles who are leading the group, need a win to gain an unassailable lead with a game to spare.

Nigeria beat Zambia 2-1 in Ndola with goals from Kelechi Iheanacho and Alex Iwobi.
