The Super Eagles will play a friendly match against Guinea’s Syli Nationale in Abu Dhabi on Monday.
The Director of Communications at the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Ademola Olajire, said the friendly match was part of the Super Eagles’ preparation ahead of a feast of Guinean attrition in the group phase at the 34th Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals in Cote d’Ivoire.
“Head Coach José Peseiro has the opportunity to put to the crucible different patterns and tactics against quality opposition.
“The friendly game is coming only seven days before the three-time champions’ opening game against Equatorial Guinea’s Nzalang National inside Abidjan’s Stade Alassane Ouattara,” it said.
Super Eagles are in Group A of the four-week, 24-nation finals alongside host nation Cote d’Ivoire and Africa’s other two Guinean nations – Equatorial Guinea and Guinea Bissau.
