Super Eagles Flew Into Sao Paolo Brazil by Ndjones(m): 9:13am On Jun 16, 2013 |
The Super Eagles are now expected to touch down at their Belo Horizonte base in the early hours of Sunday June 16 2013 ahead of Monday’s group opener against Oceania champions, Tahiti. Officials say the African champions will fly into Sao Paulo just before midnight on Saturday – thus becoming the last team to arrive at the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup tournament in Brazil. Earlier plans Earlier scheduled to arrive on Thursday, the Super Eagles are forty-eight hours late after a stand-off with Nigeria football authorities on bonuses payable, despite a mutual understanding with the team’s Management on a 50 per cent cut. A miffed but concerned NFF had promptly contacted Sports Minister, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi when players and officials refused to leave their Country Club Resort Windhoek for a scheduled flight from Namibia to Johannesburg on Thursday, thus missing their connection to Sao Paulo from South Africa. The Sports Minister immediately contacted the Presidency, and despite his pledge to personally bring the balance of the money to Brazil, Coach Stephen Keshi insisted his players would only leave Namibia if the money arrived in the southern African nation. Laxity On Saturday, a first batch from Windhoek to Johannesburg inexplicably missed their flight, but Team Administrator Enebi Achor, who was in the second batch, worked hard to ensure that batch eventually arrivedin Johannesburg early enough to retain seats on the connecting flight. -We are all on the same flight. Everything’s sorted out now,” Achor said on telephone from Johannesburg. Planned arrival The delegation flew aboard a South African Airways flight SA 224, Airbus 340-600 from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo, and are expected to connect another flight to Belo Horizonte that would touch down in that city at 4am Sunday, June 16.
