The Super Eagles will return to the country after crashing out of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Nigeria lost 1-2 to Argentina in their last Group D game on Tuesday and have left Moscow for Lagos Wednesday morning via Dubai on an Emirates flight.

Nigeria Football Federation’s (NFF) Second Vice President, Shehu Dikko, led the players and officials on the flight back home.

Some of the players will not be returning to the country as they left for their various cities to join their families on vacations.

“The NFF will meet with the coaches of the team later next week to discuss the programme for the Africa of Nations Cup qualifiers starting next month,” Dikko said.
