The Nigeria Football Federation has explained that no deal
has been reached with the English FA for a proposed international friendly
between Nigeria and England.
The federation officials, who were taken aback by reports
that the game was already fixed between the Super Eagles and the Three Lions,
said every discussion done on the proposal was merely verbal with no date in
sight yet.
The NFF’s position was made public on Thursday by its
General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi. In the official statement posted on the
FA website, Sanusi stated that no agreement has been reached on a date for the
proposed game.
He said, “The aspect of a proposed friendly between Nigeria
and England as discussed by the NFF president,
Mr. Amaju Pinnick and Chairman of The FA, Mr. Greg Dyke, at their
meeting in London on Tuesday has been somewhat overblow in the social media.
