The German tactician praised the training pitches, accommodations, and overall hospitable environment, stating that his team has settled in well despite a minor travel hiccup.
Nees impressed by Nigeria’s hospitality and training facilities
Upon arriving in Nigeria, the Warriors were greeted with world-class facilities, something that Nees believes would be a luxury back home.

Speaking to Zimbabwe’s media team, the coach couldn’t hide his admiration for the setup saying, “The hotel is fine, we’ve settled in.
We were delayed yesterday because our flight was cancelled, so we lost a couple of hours. The hotel is very spacious, I think we cannot complain about that.”
But it wasn’t just the accommodation that left an impression, the training pitch was the real highlight for Nees, who remarked that his team would be lucky to have such facilities in their own country,
The Warriors’ boss stated, “The training pitch, I think you can see for yourself, we would be happy to have something like this in our own country; really very good, impressed. The training pitch is soft, not too hard. The stadium pitch, I expect even better.”
Zimbabwe optimistic despite Super Eagles’ strength
As the Warriors sit bottom of Group C, Nees knows that his side is the underdog against a Nigerian team that is looking to turn its campaign around. However, the coach believes that his players will fight for every point.

Speaking ahead of the match, he said, “Nigeria, through the squad and the names, are just top-class. They messed it up at the beginning, I think it’s their third coach now in these qualifiers. They won against a difficult opponent in Rwanda.”
He acknowledged that the Super Eagles would be fired up, adding, “They want to turn this campaign around, so they’ll come with all power and confidence. It will be an exciting game. We will give everything as well.”
)
The match against Nigeria is scheduled to kick off at 5:00 WAT at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo. While Zimbabwe will be hoping for an upset, the Super Eagles know that only a win will keep their World Cup dreams alive.
