Éric Chelle will lead members of the Super Eagles squad and backroom staff to London on Friday, May 22 ahead of the Unity Cup tournament.
The Nigerian contingent is expected to depart from Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in the morning before making a brief stopover in Morocco on their way to the United Kingdom.
According to Super Eagles media officer Promise Efoghe, the travelling team includes Chelle, seven home-based players, and members of the technical crew.
Foreign-based players invited for the competition are expected to join the squad in London as preparations intensify for the tournament.
Coach Chelle recently unveiled a 27-man squad featuring a mix of experienced stars and new faces for the Unity Cup, as well as upcoming international friendly matches against Poland and Portugal.
Nigeria will begin the defence of their Unity Cup title against Zimbabwe national football team at The Valley next Tuesday.
The winner of that match will progress to the final where they will face either India national football team or Jamaica national football team on May 30.
