NFF Rule Out Friendly For Super Eagles Ahead Of WCQ Vs Cameroon

The Super Eagles coaching staff will not correct the lapses noticed against South Africa before two crucial World Cup qualifiers against Cameroon in September.

The Technical Committee of the Nigerian Federation had proposed for the national team facing a country with the same playing style as the Indomitable Lions during their meeting with the Minister of Youth and Sports Barrister Solomon Dalung on Tuesday but jettisoned the idea.

''We wanted to play a friendly before the World Cup qualifier against Cameroon but there is no Fifa window for friendly matches from now till August,'' a member of NFF technical committee told allnigeriasoccer.com.

''The coach has to adequately monitor the players he wants to invite. If you arrange a friendly match, you arrange it for yourself because the players are engaged.''

The Super Eagles surprisingly lost 2-0 to Bafana Bafana in their opening game in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers despite training for two weeks before the game in Uyo.
