Eagles now to play Sierra Leone

Nigeria’s Super Eagles will now tackle Sierra Leone in a friendly next week Wednesday after a proposed game with Guatemala in the United States was called off.
Chairman of the technical committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Chris Green, said the Guatemala match has been cancelled because the match organisers feared incurring a huge loss.
“The organisers were apprehensive of the goings-on in Nigeria as regards a FIFA ban after football matters were again taken back to regular courts,” Green said.
There have been huge doubts over the Guatemala game, but the NFF insisted last week that all arrangements for the encounter had been concluded.
Officials have now disclosed Sierra Leone will replace Guatemala on the FIFA friendly day window with the game likely to be played in Lagos.
Media reports suggested that the country’s top Euro-based stars have been contacted to rearrange their travel plans and now fly into Nigeria for this match.
