Nigeria seek to train in Kenya
Super Eagles
Nigeria are top of Group Three with nine points

Nigeria are planning to set up a training camp in Kenya ahead of their decisive Nations Cup qualifier against Uganda in Kampala.

German coach Berti Vogts says he wants the Super Eagles to train in Nairobi before their Group Three clash on 2 June.

A friendly game against either Kenya or Tanzania is also planned.

"We may have to camp in Nairobi for the match against Uganda so as to acclimatise," said Vogts.

"We would camp for at least four days even though I would have wanted to have the players for a longer time."

Vogts is expected to name a squad of mostly Europe-based players for the match.

Nigeria pipped Uganda 1-0 in March to consolidate their leadership of Group Three of the qualifying tournament.

They have recorded nine points from three matches while Uganda are second in the standings with four points.

The other teams in the group are Lesotho and Niger with only the group winner assured of an automatic qualification for the biennial Nations Cup to be staged in Ghana in January.
