General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation, Musa Amadu has confirmed to sl10.ng that the Super Eagles will play more friendly matches after the games against Cote D’ Ivoire and Sudan.
“We will play more friendly matches this year and I can tell you that we are already discussing with some football federations about the possibility of playing their national teams in friendly matches in the next FIFA free windows.
“Looking at the fact that we didn’t qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations, the Nigeria Football Federation is doing everything within its powers to ensure we get more games for the Super Eagles,” Amadu told sl10.ng.
But despite confirming the possibility of playing more friendly matches, Amadu however refused to disclose the countries they are currently in discussions with over the possibility of having these friendly games.
“I cannot disclose to you these countries yet but I’m sure they will be made known when discussions are finalized,” he added.
