Super Eagles to Play Against Ethiopia on Saturday
The home based Super Eagles of Nigeria, will on Saturday play a friendly game against the Walya Antelopes of Ethiopia as both teams are preparing to participate in the African Nations Championship (CHAN).
Nigeria and Ethiopia played each other three times last year including 2014 World Cup Qualifier matches, and the African champions won all three encounters.
Ethiopia are placed in Group C of the competition alongside Ghana, Congo and Libya in Mangaung, while Nigeria are paired with Group D along with hosts South Africa, Mali and Mozambique in Cape Town.
NFF secretary-general, Musa Amadu, said: “We contacted a number of countries also heading to the 3rd Orange African Nations Championship, and we are delighted that the Ethiopians accepted our offer. They will arrive in Nigeria on Friday, play the game on Saturday and depart from Abuja on Sunday.”
