Nigeria to have friendlies against Poland, Serbia

Xinhua,March 06, 2018 Adjust font size:

LAGOS, March 5 (Xinhua) -- Ahead of 2018 World Cup, Nigeria are billed to play international friendly matches against Poland and Serbia.

Nigeria will face Poland on March 23 in Wroclaw, Poland and Serbia, March 27, in London.

The list of players for the friendly matches will be released on Wednesday.

Former Super Eagles player Mutiu Adepoju said Monday the two nations are careful choices made by the Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr.

"Poland is a force to reckon with in European football, you can't get all the desired friendly matches given FIFA's tight schedules, clubs and individual country's plans," the former Shooting star FC coach added.

"The Serbian team is also a good one, I think the outcome of the two matches will help the technical crew perfect plans to hit the podium in Russia," he said.

The Super Eagles defeated one of their Group D rivals Argentina 4-2 in November in Russia. Other group D teams are Croatia and Iceland. Enditem
