According to Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick, who also doubles as CAF Vice President, the Eagles will face two of the tournament’s favourites in preparation for the Mundial in June.
Further investigations by AOIFootball.com reveal that North African giants Tunisia and Morocco are one of the two countries interested in playing the Super Eagles, whilst West African brothers Ghana or Ivory Coast are also potential opponents for the friendly clashes.
Similarly, the Zimbabwe national team are also in discussion to play Nigeria, having been drawn with hosts Egypt, Uganda and DR Congo. The Harare Stars are also hoping to benefit from the Eagles’ test games against Uganda and Egypt in Asaba.
Nigeria was drawn in Group B with Guinea, Burundi and Madagascar, which shocked Africa to qualify first for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
