Tahiti will play their first ever FIFA Confederations Cup game against Nigeria in Belo Horizonte on Monday, and should they win would have caused a major upset in world football.

Nigeria are unbeaten in 17 games since June last year, adding the African crown to their success. Tahiti on the other hand have only played two international games this year, winning one against Solomon Islands and losing the other against New Caledonia.

The side, who qualified for the tournament after winning thez Oceania Nations Cup, face a Super Eagles team surrounded by controversy and who only arrived in Brazil on Saturday.

Nigeria’s participation was brought into question after their players refused to get on the plane from their hotel in Namibia on Thursday following disputes over bonuses.
