The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have finalised arrangements for Super Eagles 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier away to Tanzania in Dar es Salaam.

According to thenff.com, the federation have concluded an agreement with a leading Nigeria airline to fly the team into Dar es Salaam.

The departure is from the Nnamdi Azikiwe international airport, Abuja and the return set for the Port Harcourt international airport.

A chartered aircraft will convey the delegation into Dar es Salaam on the eve of the match, as Tanzania is a high altitude zone. The delegation will depart the city immediately after the match, and fly into Port Harcourt, where the Super Eagles have an international friendly against the Mena of Niger on Tuesday, September 8.

On the same weekend, the Pharaohs of Egypt will travel to Ndjamena to confront the Les Sao of Chad.

Nigeria and Egypt have three points each from the Matchday 1 of the qualification series to be on top of Group G, though the Pharaohs have scored one more goal and are ahead following their 3-0 defeat of Tanzania in Cairo.
