International Friendly: Super Eagles set to face another World Cup-bound team
The Super Eagles have another prestige friendly lined up against Portugal in Lisbon on 17th November.
The Super Eagles are a decent side with a host of talented players in their armoury but sadly, they are one of the top teams that will be missing in action at the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
While the three-time African champions are out of the World Cup, they have become an instant choice for friendly games for World Cup-bound teams; especially for those with one African opposition or the other in their groups.
The Super Eagles will confront the Senior National Team of Costa Rica in a prestigious international friendly in the country’s capital, San Jose on 9th November.
NFF’s FIFA Match Agent, Jairo Pachon of Eurodata Sport told thenff.com on Thursday that the three-time African champions have been invited to the central American nation as part of major activities to send forth the Los Ticos to the FIFA World Cup finals in Qatar.
Thenff.com learnt that the game, scheduled for the National Stadium in San Jose, will kick off at 8pm Costa Rica time (3am, 10th November in Nigeria).
Costa Rica hosted this year’s FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup finals where Nigeria’s Falconets reached the quarter-finals, defeating France, Korea Republic and Canada in the group phase.
