The Taifa Stars of Tanzania will hit Uyo on Sunday for their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matchday three encounter against the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
The early arrival, according to The Citizen, will allow head coach Miguel Gamondi enough time to prepare the team for the game.
Gamondi has already invited 24 players to camp for the double-header.
The gaffer named 12 local and 12 foreign-based professionals in the squad.
Nigeria will host the Taifa Stars at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Friday, 13 November.
Both teams will clash again in a matchday four encounter in Dar es Salaam four days later.
