Nigeria Football Federation
General Secretary, Mohammed Sanusi, on
Thursday made
clarification on the already widely –publicized international friendly between
the Super Eagles and the Three Lions of England, stating clearly that no
agreement has been reached on a date for the proposed game.
“The aspect of a proposed
friendly between Nigeria and England as discussed by the NFF President (Amaju
Pinnick) and Chairman of The FA, Greg Dyke, at their meeting in London on Tuesday has
been somewhat overblown in the social media.
“It is understandable that
any news of a proposed friendly between Nigeria and England would generate
global interest, as it has done. Both teams last played any match at senior
level about 13 years ago.
“However, we must say at this stage that the proposal is still
at the level of discussions and nothing concrete has been agreed as to when the
match will hold. We are awaiting feedback from the FA and will report on
the outcome accordingly.”
