Following Sunday’s disappointing defeat to Mexico, the Nigeria Football Federation has approved more friendly games for the home-based Eagles, with perennial rivals Ghana on the cards.
In a bid to inject more domestic league players into the main Super Eagles team, the country’s football body announced that plans are underway to engage the four-time African champions in the next international break, GHANASoccernet.com reports.
“This is the launch pad we are providing for you to showcase your talents,” President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick told the media.
“This team (Eagles B) is our pride, and we will keep you and monitor you because you are the next big thing in Nigerian football.
“In October, we will be flying the team to Baltimore for friendly games against Ghana possibly, Cameroon and Canada, maybe. We will sort that out in the coming weeks.
“We will tidy up all the documentation. You will be playing at the 73,000 capacity M&T Bank Stadium.”
The last time Ghana’s team B met Nigeria was in the final’s of the WAFU Cup in 2018, where the Black Stars won the trophy after a 4-1 victory.
