Nigerian soccer team arrives in Brazil

The Nigerian soccer team arrives in Manaus on Aug. 4, 2016, about six hours before its first Olympic Group B game against Japan. It was reported that the team was originally set to leave Atlanta in the United States on July 29, but were stranded because their charter flight was unpaid for. Delta Airlines, though, decided to temporarily pick up the tab to allow the team to make the journey. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
