The Three Lions will play the Super Eagles five days before facing Costa Rica in another friendly at Elland Road.
England begin their World Cup campaign against Tunisia in Volgograd on June 18.
Gareth Southgate’s men will then face debutants Panama in Nizhny Novgorod on June 24, before concluding the group stage against Belgium four days later in Kaliningrad.
“We’re going into a World Cup where we will play African and Central American opposition, so we get that with the games against Nigeria and Costa Rica, but it’s not just about the games we’ve got in the group but hopefully beyond that as well.
“We want to expose the team to different styles and different experiences,” Southgate said on Wednesday.
