Nigeria's Under-17 team, the Golden Eaglets will embark on a two-week camping exercise in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates ahead of the 2013 Fifa Under-17 World Cup which begins in October.
.
Technical committee chairman of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Barrister Chris Green made this know to supersport.com during an exclusive chat on Wednesday.
.
"The Golden Eaglets will be going to Dubai to intensify their preparations for the competition," he said.
.
Nigeria will face Mexico, Iraq and Sweden in the preliminary round and Green added that it was important for the players to have a feel of the city where they will play at least one game before the competition gets underway.
.
"We will play one of our group games (versus Iraq on October 25) in Dubai so it makes a lot of sense to get the boys understand what it feels like to play a game there before the competition begins.
The team is dope I must confess. We must just prepare ourselves for anything when it comes to opponents....
