2010 Africa Cup of Nations: Nigeria to camp in Namibia

Football - Nigeria may chose Namibia as its camp site for the national football team, the Super Eagles, ahead of the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations in Angola, Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) officials said Wednesday.

''It has almost been sealed by the leadership of the NFF that the Super Eagles would camp in Namibia because Namibia has a similar weather with Angola now, while it is extremely cold in South Africa now,'' NFF spokesman Demola Olajire told PANA.

The NFF had earlier planned to camp the team in South Africa.

Nigeria has been placed alongside Egypt, Mozambique and Benin in group C of the 2010 Nations Cup.
