Line up France friendly
The Super Eagles will hold a training camp in Morocco ahead of their final World Cup 2018 qualifier against Algeria in Algiers.
Although Nigeria are already through to the World Cup, coach of the team Gernot Rohr wants the team to approach the game with the seriousness of a team that is battling to qualify for the World Cup.
Eagles in training
Before the game against Algeria, the team will hold a training camp in Morocco, where talks are underway to play a friendly game against an African nation, preferably a team already through or out of the race to qualify for the World Cup..
The game against Algeria will be followed by a friendly game in France against an European nation before the players return to their various teams.
For now Nigeria are hoping they will be able to lure a strong European nation and formidable African side to help coach Rohr see players who are on the fringes of the team, and also other players doing well in Europe.
