The Nigeria Football Federation and its Fifa match agent Jairo Pachon have picked Bolivia as Super Eagles opponents in March 26 international friendly billed for the Akwa Ibom International Stadium in Uyo.
El Verde replaced Brazil pulled out of the encounter last week without stating reasons for their actions.
“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, Amaju Innick said in a press release by the NFF.
“However, we believe that the Bolivia team will give the Super Eagles a good match, as we continue to work on a second match for the Eagles for either 29th March.”
The game at the Akwa Ibom Stadium, rated as one of the most magnificent sporting infrastructure on the African continent will be the first for the Super Eagles A this year as they prepare for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations and 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifiers later in the year.
