The delegation made up of 19 players and 10 officials will be hoping to make the country proud in Seoul.
“We are now in Korea and we trying to get out of the airport,” assistant coach Fatai Amoo said.
Coach Samson Siasia is expected to step up his side's preparation for the Olympics men's football event in Rio.
