Kayode Ogundare in Moscow: Nigeria’s preparations for the 2018 FIFA World Cup have effectively kicked off with the team’s Technical Adviser Gernot Rorh revealing that the coaching staff is already considering some venues to set up a pre-World Cup base camp in Russia, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.
“We are searching for that (base camp) but we already have some ideas,” Rohr said here in Moscow after Friday’s draw placed his team in Group D with Iceland, Croatia and familiar foes Argentina.
“We only wanted to wait to see the draw and now that we have them, we will start preparing immediately. Our first match is in Volgograd and it will be good to make our camp in a place not too far from there but then we have to go to Kaliningrad which is the most western region of the country so you also have to consider that.
“It’s very important to have a good first game. And our final game will be in St Petersburg. Very nice stadium. It will be nice to play there.
