According to Premium Times, the Super Eagles Technical Adviser,
Gernot Rohr, revealed that the Nigeria national team will be involved in
a pre-World Cup friendly against Poland on March 23, 2018.
The Super Eagles have been drawn against Argentina, Croatia and
Iceland in Group D of the 2018 World Cup, while their friendly
opponents, the Polish team, are in Group H alongside Senegal, Colombia
and Japan.
There is no previous history of Nigeria and Poland meeting at the
senior level, hence the planned clash in the next FIFA window will be a
maiden meeting.
”Croatia is capable of great things with a team of stars
playing in the biggest clubs. This is the most important match, and we
hope to prepare for it against opponents similar to Croatia.
”So we will play Poland at home on March 23rd. We are looking
for a second opponent in Europe for another FIFA date of the spring.” Rohr was quoted as saying on football365.fr.
It is also understood that friendly between Nigeria and Poland has
been confirmed by the head of the Polish Football Association (PZPN),
Zbigniew Boniek to the media in his homeland.
The friendly between the Super Eagles and their Polish counterparts
has been fixed to hold in Wroclaw or the Silesian Stadium in Chorzów.
