Chief Coach of the Nigeria Women U20 side, Peter Dedevbo, said that his girls team did not halt camp schedules for the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations because of the short time before the crucial qualifier.
"Usually, we would have suspended training for Tuesday and Wednesday, but we have so little time on our hands.
"We will welcome our first prey, Sierra Leone in the first-leg of the qualifiers next weekend and so we cannot afford the luxury of celebrating because there is a lot at stake, he chief coach of Delta Queens emphasised.
"However, we didn't train in the morning on Tuesday so as to allow about two officials and three players, who are Muslims the time to pray and celebrate for a short while," he said.
The dark-skinned gaffer said that he had received video footage of matches involving the enemies from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and would use them to prepare adequately for the task ahead in Abuja and Freetown.
"We have been training very hard and I am happy with the progress of the girls so far.
"We will also spend some time looking at the tapes so as to put finishing touches to our preparations for the game," he said.
The girls will visit their Sierra Leonian counterparts in the second leg game in Freetown on November 9th, 2013.
