All is now set for the Flying Eagles’ pre-tournament warm-up against the Republic of Congo in Casablanca on Sunday.
Feelers from NFF Glass House made available to iwitnesslive.com confirmed that the much-proposed international friendly against Gambia has been called off due to logistics reasons while Sunday’s tie against Cogo will go ahead as planned.
The friendly is one of the few matches lined up to help knocked the coach Ladan Bosso-tutored side into shape ahead of their African U-20 Championship, which kicks off in Egypt next weekend.
Barring any last minutes hitches, the Nigeria U-20 side will also have either Central African Republic or Benin Republic on the menu next Wednesday before jetting out to Egypt.
