Nigeria's Dream Team Still Stranded In Atlanta 12 Hours From Their First Match

According to information gathered from the spokesman of the Nigeria U-23 national team, Timi Ebikagboro, the Dream Team VI are still in Atlanta, USA because their chartered flight to Manaus, Brazil, was cancelled following an appeal by the players that the plane was too small.

But the players and officials of the Olympic Team will finally fly out of Atlanta later today (Thursday) as plans are already the place to charter a bigger plane which will also be a “VIP aircraft” so that the players can be comfortable all through the journey. 

Ebikagboro shared the information on twitter in the late hours of Wednesday.
