NFF Reschedules Eagles Trip To Belgium Over Visa Hitch

SUPER Eagles travel schedule to Belgium today for the two friendlies against the Democratic Republic of Congo and Cameroun has been moved to tomorrow due to visa hiccups.

This was despite the fact that players such as Femi Thomas, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Austin Oboroakpo, Paul Onobi, Prince Aggrey and Chima Akas submitted their passports at the embassy about nine days earlier.

Team’s Administrator, Enebi Achor, confirmed to thenff.com that officials at the Embassy of Belgium had requested for additional documents on Wednesday, and as Thursday was public holiday, the documents were taken to the Embassy on Friday.

“We had booked tickets on Lufthansa Airline for the delegation to travel from Abuja to Frankfurt on Sunday, but that can no longer happen as the passports are still at the Embassy of Belgium.

“As things stand now, we can only leave for Frankfurt on Monday evening, to arrive in Belgium on Tuesday, if the visas are issued on Monday.”
