Nigeria football spokesman, Ademola Olajire, said at the
weekend that there has been no change to what has been streamed to the public
previously as the Super Eagles' schedule leading to the 20th Fifa World Cup
finals in Brazil.
"We have heard people talking about cancellation of
the friendly with the Senior Team of USA. Sincerely, we don't know where that
is coming from.
"For avoidance of doubt, the NFF and its Official
Fifa Match Agent, Jairo Pachon of Eurodata Sport hereby re-confirm that the
Super Eagles will regroup in Londono n May 25, play Scotland at the Craven
Cottage ground of English Premiership side Fulham FC on May 28 and fly to the
USA on May 29.
"The African champions will play the Senior Team of
Greece at the Philadelphia Union Stadium on June 3 and then take on Team USA at
the EverBank Field Stadium in Jacksonville on June 7, before flying to Sao
Paulo on June 11."
Jairo Pachon of Eurodata Sport added: "The United
States provide us with similar climate and time zones as we will encounter in
Brazil and more importantly, provide us with world class facilities for both
training and accommodation, for our players' comfort.
"This will give us the opportunity to provide the
right atmosphere for our players as well as afford them quality training
facilities ahead of the Fifa World Cup."
