Nigeria will train in Houston, United States of America for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, top Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) official have confirmed.
Super Eagles head coach Stephen Keshi had proposed the choice of either Miami or Houston for the African champions’ training camp ahead of next summer’s soccer showpiece.
But chairman of the NFF technical sub-committee, Chris Green, revealed the country has settled for Houston.
“Nigeria will train for the World Cup in Houston,” Green said.
“We want to make a statement at our fifth World Cup and so we have to prepare adequately.”
Nigeria will open the training camp on May 25.
Nigeria will also face Mexico in a World Cup warm-up in Houston on March 5.
Green also said the team plan four other friendlies before their first match against Iran.
Argentina and Bosnia-Herzegovina are the other teams in Group F along with the Eagles.
God will take us there
