The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, has announced that the National Team, Super Eagles, will face the Elephants of Cote D’Ivoire and the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia in an international friendly slated for October 2020.
The Friendly Matches became necessary following the failure of the Super Eagles to play any match this September due to the Covid-19 Pandemic outbreak.
October is the time the World Football Governing Body, FIFA, slated for countries to play friendly matches to prepare their team and engage each other in testing the might of their team and keeping the players occupied.
The NFF has, however, utilized this opportunity to its full capacity by engaging two African Football power houses for a friendly match.
The matches will also avail Coach Gernot Rohr the opportunity to test his players and access them, however, giving new players called into the fold the opportunity to showcase their skills and bolster the team.
The last time Super Eagles played a competitive match was in February, during the 2022 African Cup of Nations Qualifiers.
It will also help Rohr who is presently having a headache in the goalkeeping department, due to several injuries his Goalkeepers are suffering.
