Posted by Factnews | 6 years ago | 1,958 times
The Nigeria Football Federation has halted talks with the European and South American football associations seeking to play warm-up matches with the Super Eagles to prepare their teams ahead of next year’s World Cup in Russia.
World Cup-bound England, Serbia and Peru are among the Russia 2018 teams reportedly interested in playing Nigeria.
Spokesman for the NFF Ademola Olajire, said the Russia 2018 draw would determine the teams the Eagles would play as part of their preparations for the football’s showpiece.
Olajire said they had plans to secure at least friendly encounters for the three-time African champions, who will be making their sixth World Cup appearance in Russia, before the tournament.
Olajire dismissed reports the NFF proposed to the Eagles to pay each player a win bonus based on the minutes they played during the World Cup qualifiers.
