Super Eagles to play Mexico in July ahead of World Cup qualifiers

The game has been arranged, to help the Super Eagles prepare for their FIFA World Cup qualifiers later this year.

“We are happy to be able to announce this match, which is a clash between two very big teams from two different continents. Mexico against Nigeria is a big match any day and the venue is class,” NFF’s FIFA Match Agent, Jairo Pachon of Eurodata Sport, said.

The match will be played the famous Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in the State of California, the United States of America.

It will be the sixth confrontation between the senior teams of both countries, four of which have ended in draws.

The only win in the series has gone to Mexico, when they trumped a US Gold Cup encounter in Dallas (State of Texas) 2-1 on 24th June 1995. Jonathan Akpoborie scored Nigeria’s only goal.
