Abuja \u2014 Nigerian under-23 men football team are in high spirits for Sunday’s clash with Tanzania after arrival in Dar es Salaam early on Saturday, a team official has said.<\/p>\n

The team’s Media Officer, Mr Arafat Aliu, in a telephone interview, said that the 30-man contingent had arrived to a good reception a little after 1 a.m on Saturday.<\/p>\n

“We arrived around 1.10 a.m, which was 11.10 p.m Nigerian time, and we were indeed surprised to see officials of the Tanzania Football Federation waiting for us.<\/p>\n

“They really worked hard to ensure we had a smooth transition from the Mwalimu Nyerere International Airport to our camp at the Durban Hotel,” he said.<\/p>\n

The Nigeria Football Association (NFA) also has settled all the outstanding allowances of the players and officials of Dream Team V ahead of their clash on Sunday<\/p>\n

The Nigerian team, which is also known as Dream Team V, is in the Tanzanian capital city for a 2012 Olympic Games qualifier against the hosts.<\/p>\n

The second round first leg fixture, scheduled for the Dar es Salaam National Stadium, is one of the qualifiers for the 2012 London Olympic Games Men Football Event.<\/p>\n

Aliu said the team had left Nigeria aboard an Ethiopian Airline flight on Friday evening, and had spent one hour in Addis Ababa before boarding the Dar es-Salaam flight.<\/p>\n

He said the team would have its only training session before Sunday’s game on Saturday evening at the Dar es-Salaam National Stadium.<\/p>\n

The Dream Team spokesman however said the players and officials are in fine shape and ready for the task ahead of them.<\/p>\n

“With what I have seen and the way we have been received, the players and officials are all raring to go. I can assure that the team will not let Nigerians down tomorrow.<\/p>\n

“We are all aware of our task, and we are in good shape. There are no worries, and we are battle-ready,” he said.<\/p>\n

The Sunday match is scheduled for 4 p.m (2 p.m Nigerian time).<\/p>\n

Nigeria had eliminated Equatorial Guinea to get to the second round while Tanzania on their part beat 2000 Olympic Men Football champions Cameroon.<\/p>\n

The second leg match against Tanzania holds on June 18.(NAN)<\/em><\/p>\n
