Nigeria have picked Sao Paulo as the base for the Super Eagles in next year's world cup, KickOffNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.

NFF officials are however yet to decide on a specific camp site, but have whittled their choice down to just two with a decision expected to be made in the next couple of days.

São Paulo is the biggest city in Brazil and among the most populous in the world, with 11 million inhabitants, just a few million shy of Nigeria's commercial capital Lagos.

Like Lagos, São Paulo is a also Brazil's most ethnically diverse city, hosting an estimated 100 different ethnic groups, most of them immigrants.

Additionally, the city is an international flight hub! with most flights from Africa landing first there, which would make travel a lot easier for the throng of fans expected to flood Brazil from Nigeria.

We go to Faro, Portugal for pre tournament camping.

In which city is out group going to be playing anyways or are teams going to be traveling to different cities to play like it was in the confederations cup? I was actually expecting us to base in Rio De Janeiro.

This means that the Super Eagles would make a 2,656.6mile (2308.5nm; 4,427.7km) round-trip by the end of their group stage matches.

The US team will make a 7,700mile round-trip by their 3rd match.

*nm stands for nautical miles i.e. the flight distance.
