Aircraft’s cracked windscreen delays Super Eagles’ arrival in Uyo
The Nigeria Football Federation announced that the plane carrying the national team made an emergency landing at the airport in Luanda, Angola, due to a crack in the windshield shortly after takeoff.
The Nigeria National Team delegation includes Wilfred Ndidi, who wears the Beşiktaş jersey, and Victor Osimhen, who wears the Galatasaray jersey.
The Nigeria Football Federation has stated that a cracked windscreen of the chartered ValueJet Airline aircraft that was conveying the Super Eagles’ delegation from Polokwane in South Africa to Uyo, for Tuesday’s FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Benin Republic, has delayed the arrival of the players and officials in the Akwa Ibom State capital.
The same aircraft had flown some members of the delegation to Polokwane on Thursday night, arriving in the South African city on Friday morning.
