The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is planning three friendly matches for the Super Eagles as part of preparations for next year’s World Cup in Russia.
Information from the NFF indicated that Rohr’s Eagles will play Egypt and two other countries between January and May next year.
Speaking on the sidelines of NFF’s 2018 budget defence with the House of Representatives Committee on Sports, the federation’s Secretary General, Mohammed Sanusi, said one of the countries that the Eagles would play is Egypt.
He said although no final decision has been reached, the three friendlies would be played in Abuja before the World Cup to be hosted by Russia in June.
“We’re looking at three countries. We want to play in Abuja. We haven’t finalized, but Egypt is one of them,” he said.
Asked if the NFF was looking at the possibility of inviting additional players to join the Eagles, Sanusi said, “we always allow the coach to do that. We don’t have a hand in the selection of players. It’s up to the coach to bring in the players he wants to bring.”
