THE Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) says it has accepted an invitation to be a part of a four-nation friendly tournament in England at the end of the ongoing European season.
Multiple reports in Ghana quoting the chairman of the Black Stars Management Committee Dr. Randy Abbey ran with the story, and he was quoted as saying there is no specific date fixed for the tournament yet, but it will definitely be in the month of June.
“Fortunately, the technical team and management will have the opportunity to further work on the team because, in June, we don’t have qualifiers. So, we’re playing a four-nation friendly in England. And I’m sure it will be an opportunity for the coaches to do some further work on the team,”, he told 3Sports.
“We’re hoping that some of the players who are injured will also be back and will have the opportunity to play at least two games before September,” he added
A member of the NFF while confirming the development said. ”Yes, we will play a four-team tournament in England at the end of the season. There will be an official announcement when all arrangements are made”, he concluded.
