The Lesotho team was welcomed by members of the Akwa Ibom State Football Normalization Committee at the Victor Attah International Airport and subsequently escorted to their accommodations at the Ibom Icon Hotel and Resorts.
The clash between the Super Eagles and Lesotho is slated to occur on the main turf of the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo at 5 p.m. on Thursday.
