OMGDAILYUPDATE.BLOGSPOT.COM have been told exclusively by a top source at the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) secretariat that the Super Eagles will play a top international friendly match in September.
The source who pleaded anonymity did not hesitate to add that the outcome of their encounter with Tanzania will determine if they will go ahead with the friendly or not. Reasons sighted was because the head coach of the Super Eagles,Sunday Oliseh, will be having his first ever outing and official assignment in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.
The source said: “Nigerians are waiting for us to play a friendly match, and you know there is no much time and the coach is not in the country, he is out there scouting for players that he think is worthy of a call-up to the team.
“All plan have been set to play a friendly match the moment we play the qualifier in Tanzania before the players travel back to their various clubs, we are looking at a South American country and, maybe an African country but we are yet to conclude,” the source said.
There have been earlier speculations that the Eagles will play a friendly match in August but the source denied it and said they cannot afford it because of the time frame and logistics as they can only play if it is on FIFA calendar or else clubs will not release their players.
However, August 30th is the camp opening for foreign based professionals and they are to resume in Abuja, train together before moving out to Dar Es Salaam.
Nigeria will be playing Tanzania on the sixth of September in a first leg at the ongoing 2017 African cup of Nation’s qualifier.
