The senior national team, Black Stars, on Monday, March 28, arrived in Abuja for the second leg of the World Cup qualifier against the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
The team arrived in the afternoon and checked in at the Abuja Sheraton.
Before long, Otto Addo’s team headed to the Moshood Abiola Stadium to hold a training session in preparation for the match.
In a viral video, the Black Stars were captured enveloped in darkness with only mobile phone torches providing some light.
The players and other technical staff are heard in high spirits chanting ‘jama’ songs.
The incident has since generated a conversation on social media, particularly on Twitter.
Whiles some believe it is a scheme by the Nigerians to ‘frustrate’ the Black Stars, others have just taken it on a lighter note.
The teams played out a goalless draw in the first leg at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
The second leg of the game will be played today, March 29, 2022. The winner secures one of five African slots to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
