The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has suspended indefinitely the camping activities of the country's U20 women's side to combat the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
The development is coming on the heels of the increasing spread of Covid-19 in the West African nation, with local health authorities confirming five fresh positive cases on Wednesday.
No fewer than 40 players entered the camp in Abuja on March 1 for Nigeria's showdown with Burkina Faso earlier scheduled for next week which had now been postponed by Caf last Friday.
In a notice to the team on Wednesday, the NFF alerted the players and officials that it was closing camp as part of their precautions against the pandemic and further urged them to stay safe at their base.
