President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Amaju Pinnick has confirmed a proposed friendly against 2017 AFCON-bound Egypt will no longer be played in January.
He says the friendly was off because there were some conditions Nigeria could not meet like parading the country’s top Europe-based professionals as it will not during a FIFA-friendly window.
Pinnick says the federation is in advanced talks with Ivory coast and Senegal for a possible friendly.
The super eagles are preparing for the 2018 world cup qualifier against Cameroon in August.
