The flights of the trio from Abuja to Calabar have had to be diverted to Port Harcourt following poor weather at the Margaret Ekpo International Airport in Calabar.

The rainy conditions in Calabar, it was learned, made visibility poor for the two aircrafts carrying the Super Eagles trio and other passengers to land.

"Their flights have all been diverted due to bad weather here in Calabar. It has been raining all day here," said an official of the Nigerian national team, who does not want to be named.

Officials of the national team were unavailable for comments at the time of this incident.
