More Friendly Matches Coming For Nigeria

Nigeria may add to the three World Cup warm-ups they have confirmed ahead of Brazil 2014.

The African Champions have already lined up friendlies against Scotland, Greece and USA leading up to the World Cup in June. 

But general secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Musa Amadu, has hinted they could squeeze a fourth test game before Brazil 2014 should coach Stephen Keshi accept. 

“We’re putting all measures in place to ensure that the team is properly prepared for the World Cup and that is why we have lined up friendlies up until June 7. And if the coach accepts, we could squeeze in one more game before our first game at the World Cup,” said Amadu. 

Nigeria’s opening match at Brazil 2014 will be against Iran on June 16, and Amadu told MTNFootball.com it was crucial the Eagles got off to a winning start. 

“It is very important that the Super Eagles win their first group game against Iran. This would go a long way to determine how far the team would go at the World Cup,” he said. 

The other teams in Nigeria’s first round group are Argentina and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
