The Super Eagles held a similar camp in England, where they were preparing for their international friendly matches against Senegal and Burkina Faso, but only played the Lions of Teranga.

The Nigerian senior national team have planned a training camp in France ahead of their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations preliminary qualifiers against Bafana Bafana in June.
The Super Eagles spokesperson Toyin Ibitoye told Completesportsnigeria.com, saying the team would converge in the Province of Alpes Cotze Azur at the end of the season to prepare for Bafana, having had a similar camp in London, England, ahead of their game against Senegal, which ended 1-1 last week.
“We will have another camp like this at the end of the season where all these players will meet again before the game against South Africa,” Ibitoye revealed to the Nigerian website.
The Nigerian team was supposed to play another friendly with Burkina Faso on Monday, but Burkinabe’s players had Visa problems, which saw the game not take place.
