The American Embassy has approved the visa applications of four Sand Eagles players who will represent Nigeria at the World Beach Soccer Championship in the Bahamas.
The US embassy had last week approved the visa applications of five players while denying the rest of the team.
However, four of the players denied have now been granted visas.
They include Abu Azeez, Godwin Tale, Emmanuel Owhoferia and Emeka Ogbonna.
