The Nigeria Football Federation on Thursday confirmed the
friendly matches between the Super Eagles and two giants of African football,
Senegal and Burkina Faso.
NFF’s spokesman Ademola Olajide said in Lagos that the
matches, scheduled to take place in London, were further confirmed by its
Official FIFA match agent.
He said, “The NFF and its Official FIFA Match Agent, Jairo
Pachon of Eurodata Sport have further confirmed details for the two
international friendly matches for the Super Eagles.
“The Eagles will play against Senegal and Burkina Faso in
London later this month.
“Currently they are on a five-match winning streak since
losing 0-1 to Africa’s runners-up in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, Egypt in a
2017 Cup of Nations qualifying match in Alexandria a year ago.
“The Super Eagles are ranked 41st in the world, 10 places
below Senegal’s Teranga Lions and three places below the Etalons of Burkina
Faso.”
The Nigerian football governing body said the games would
afford the Super Eagles adequate preparation ahead of their 2018 FIFA World Cup
qualifying series.
It said, “We believe that the two teams, Senegal and
Burkina Faso, who also participated in this year’s Africa Cup of Nations finals
in Gabon will provide the Super Eagles with quality preparation.
“The friendly games will prepare them for the remaining
matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying series, and the 2019 Africa Cup
of Nations qualifying campaign starting in June.
“Both games will take place at The Hive, Barnet FC home
ground, and will kick off at 8 p.m.
“Nigeria and Senegal take to the pitch on Thursday, March
23, and it will be the turn of Nigeria and Burkina Faso on Monday, March 27.”
NFF said that the sale of tickets for the match had
already begun.
“Tickets for both matches went on sale on March 1, 2017.
“They are available at 10 British Pounds Sterling for
adults and 5 British Pounds Sterling for juniors.
