Friendly matches against Senegal and Burkina Faso, have been confirmed for the Super Eagles. The matches were secured to help prepare the Super Eagles for the 2019 AFCON and 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
The Media officer of the Super Eagles, Toyin Ibitoye, revealed that the games has been finalized after a bit of uncertainty earlier experienced by the parties involved. In his words - ''The two teams that the Super Eagles will play have been confirmed. Nigeria will face the Teranga Lions of Senegal on March 23rd, and then meet Burkina Faso on the 27th. Both games will be in London, and it will provide us with a stern test as we prepare for the Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup qualifiers. We had a few teams in mind, but we have finally received confirmation for Senegal and Burkina Faso. The Ghana deal didn't work, presumably because they don;t have a coach now after Avram Grant resigned''.
