Nigeria continued to fight a psychological battle with Equatorial Guinea officials ahead of Tuesday's African Women Championship semifinal against the hosts.

Local organizers had slated the Super Falcons to train at the match venue at 09h00 on Monday but NFF's Assistant General Secretary (Competitions), Sanusi Mohammed, who is also head of administration for the Nigeria team, rejected the timetable and insisted the Falcons would be train at 14h00 in line with the rules.

International football regulations allow visiting teams to train at match venue at the time of the match on the eve of the game.

"We had a tough battle with the LOC people, who initially denied us entry into the Stadium, but we took up the matter, with the NFF first Vice President, Amanze Uchegbulam, and we succeeded in training there," Mohammed said.
