Dream Team still stranded in Atlanta

For the third time, the Nigeria Olympic football team failed to fly out from its training camp in Atlanta, Georgia, in the United States of America, for the Rio Olympics in Brazil.
Players and team officials have been left frustrated as they are also worried the team will suffer jet-lag by the time it finally arrives in Brazil.
Officials have now said they hope a chartered flight would take them directly to the Brazilian city of Manaus, where they will play their first two matches against Japan and Sweden.
The team opens its campaign on Friday against Japan by 2am Nigerian time.
The flight time between the two cities is around eight hours.
The team were due to fly out to Brazil by Tuesday afternoon, but again the team’s ticketing problems persisted.
The Dream Team VI was originally to have departed for Brazil on July 29. This was then shelved to Monday, August 1, before yesterday’s departure date.
