Nigeria will take on Bolivia in a grade A international friendly match on March 26, at the new Akwa Ibom International Stadium in Uyo.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and FIFA match agent Jairo Pachon, have confirmed that they have secured the South Americans, after Brazil pulled out.
“We have had to work at a pace to seal agreement for this match, after the Brazilian Football Federation opted out at the last hour,” NFF president Amaju Pinnick said.
“However, we believe that the Bolivia team will give the Eagles a good match, as we continue to work on a second match for the Eagles for either 29th March, NFF President Amaju Pinnick said on Friday.
The match will be the Super Eagles’ first outing this year, as they continue to prepare for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying games.
“The NFF is committed to ensuring that the Super Eagles are occupied on every FIFA window, with quality games,” Amaju added.
“The NFF is working assiduously to get the Eagles to play a top-ranked African team away on March 29, as a result of the Presidential elections taking place on March 28.”
