Super Eagles vs El Tri match to attract large attendance

A record 60,000 tickets have been sold for the meeting between Nigeria and Mexico at the Georgia Dome, Atlanta , promotional company Soccer United Marketing has stated.

And if all the fans that purchased the tickets attend the match, the number of spectators would surpass the viewers for the double header in the quarterfinals of the 2013 Gold Cup, where Mexico met Trinidad & Tobago and Panama clashed with Cuba.

Stephen Keshi had his first training session with the squad on Tuesday morning, with Rizespor stopper Godfrey Oboabona the only absentee.

Godfrey Oboabona will be a latecomer to Atlanta, Georgia after suffering a flight hitch due to unfavorable weather conditions in Chicago.
