Friday’s open day at the national team’s camp base in Capinas, Sao Paulo, Brazil turned out to be another exciting time for Brazilians soccer fans to show their love for the Super Eagles as they turned out in their thousands to cheer the team at their training ground in Estadio Brinco de Ouro da Princesa.
Open days are normally organized periodically for fans and the media to have an intimate experience with the team at their team base camp and what an experience it was for the fans of the Nigerians side, their players and officials.
Apart from the thousands who were able to gain access into the arena, others lined out the route to the stadium as the team drove in from their Vitoria Hotel abode.
At a point, the situation almost degenerated as police battled to cage the fans that were by now running into the pitch where players and the technical crew were doing their business to have a closer shave and look at the Super Eagles.
No violence was however recorded during the over two hours that the team trained at the venue. At the end of the session both the international press and their Nigerian counterparts also had their turns to interact with the players and officials and left with very positive positions.
