The Nigeria Football Federation has secured two friendly games with Ivory Coast and Mali for the Super Eagles in order to keep the team busy in January.
The two games will hold on the FIFA-free days in January in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, just before the kick-off of the Africa Cup of Nations.
NFF General Secretary, Musa Amadu, said on Wednesday that the Eagles will have their hands full with the friendlies.
“We are working round the clock to make sure that the Super Eagles will have opponents during all the FIFA windows available in 2015, and we are happy that the two games with the Ivorians and the Malians are sealed,” Amadu said.
“The Elephants and the Les Aiglons are on their way to the 30th Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea, so they are sure to give our team good games.”
Already, assistant coach Daniel Amokachi has drawn a list of 24 players who will compete for playing roles in the two matches.
Gombe United goalkeeper Chigozie Agbim leads the invitees with Azubuike Egwuekwe, Kwambe Solomon, Umar Zango, Rabiu Ali, Emem Eduok, Kingsley Sokari, Mfon Udoh, Gbolahan Salami and Gambo Muhammad also called.
