Friendly Game: Super Eagles To Face Black Stars Of Ghana In Europe
By Admin
The Nigeria football governing body (NFF) has concluded plans to stage an international friendly game between Super Eagles and Black Stars of Ghana ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying game versus South Africa.
The proposed friendly against the Black Stars will be played in Europe, according to ScoreNigeria.
The last Jollof Derby between perennial rivals Nigeria and Ghana was played in March 2024 in Morocco with the Super Eagles winning 2-1.
Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle had hoped to play against an African team like Zambia, who play a similar type of football like Bafana Bafana of South Africa, to prepare for the 2026 World Cup qualifying showdown in South Africa in September.
Nigeria will be guests of South Africa on September 7 in continuation of the qualifying series for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
It would be recalled that the NFF had earlier sealed a friendly against Russia in June international break.
