Super Eagles delegation from Nigeria will depart the country tonight for France ahead of Friday’s friendly against Mali even though several officials are yet to be granted entry visas.
Officials said four officials including caretaker coach Salisu Yusuf have been granted their visas, while other officials will know their fate later today.
Several holidaying players like Musa Mohammed, Brown Ideye, Elderson Echiejile and Ogneyi Onazi are expected to be part of the delegation from Nigeria.
Nigeria face Mali on Friday in Rouen with kick-off time at 7pm.
The other match will be in Luxembourg on May 31.
Both games are aimed at preparing for the qualifying tournament for the 2018 World Cup, which will begin in October.
