NFF’s acting scribe, Musa Amadu told reporters yesterday that the package dangled by the Guatemalans, who are well outside the world’s 100 top ranking was worth considering.

Alternatively, Nigeria had touted Mozambique as a prospective guest in Lagos on the same day as many do not believe that the Central Americans have the right profile to help boost the Eagles ahead of the Nations Cup qualifier.
According to Musa, the La Azul y Blancos (white and blues) have offered to fly the Eagles and their officials to Miami by business class tickets.

In addition to that, they will lodge the team in a five-star hotel outside other logistics.
“Guatemala is hosting us and they have offered business class flight tickets for the players and officials. They will lodge the team in a five-star hotel in Miami. That is in addition to the cost of boarding, feeding and other training facilities,” Amadu said.
He did not, however, reveal how much Nigeria will be paid as match fee by the Central Americans.
