The Rio 2016 Olympic football tournament starts on Thursday, August 4 in Brazil. The opening match will be between Iraq and Denmark in Brasilia.
The Dream Team VI, drawn in Group B alongside Colombia, Japan and Sweden are eyeing their second Olympic gold medal after their Atlanta 1996 conquest.
Nigeria is 5 hours ahead of Manaus - State of Amazonas, Brazil and due to the difference in time zones, the match times are very awkward.
And all the Dream Team VI games would be played very late at night and one very early in the morning.
