After days of hide and seek, officials of Angolan Embassy in Nigeria on Thursday granted entry visa to players and officials of Sunshine Stars of Akure.
Sunshine Stars of Akure is billed to take on Recreativo of Angola this weekend in the first leg, second round of the Orange/CAF Champions League.
The team manager of the Nigerian side, Gabriel Aborowa, on Wednesday raised the alarm over antics being employed by the Embassy staff since his arrival in Abuja for the visa on Monday.
Baring unforeseen event, the 32-man contingent will this evening, around 9pm, depart for Angola aboard Kenya Airline.
Nigeria’s second representative in the competition, Dolphins, will be at home this weekend against Cotton Sport of Garou, Cameroun.
Dolphins edged out Sony Nguema of Equatorial Guinea in the first round on 6-0 goal aggregate while Sunshine Stars, semi finalists in the last year’s edition of Confederations Cup, drew bye in the first round.
