The Nigeria Football Federation are shopping for an African team to play the Super Eagles on October 10 after confirming an international friendly game against Brazil in Singapore on October 13.

The game between Nigeria and Brazil was confirmed by both federations on Tuesday. The game is the first meeting between both sides in 16 years.

Both teams last clashed in a friendly at the Moshood Abiola national stadium in Abuja in 2003 with the Selecao thrashing the Eagles 3-0.

Goals from Gil, Luis Fabiano and Adriano condemned Nigeria to their first defeat at the stadium.

The game, which is the second friendly for the Eagles after their 2-2 draw with Ukraine in Dnipro, will hold at the 55,000 capacity National stadium, Kallang, Singapore.

The South American giants will play another African side Senegal three days before they clash with the Eagles.

According to Brazil’s team coordinator, Juninho Paulista, the choice of both games is in line with Brazil’s policy to play against the top 50 teams ranked by FIFA whenever possible.

 “Having said that, the focus now is on getting an African team for the Super Eagles as a second match for the FIFA window in October, ahead of their 2021 AFCON qualifying matches in November.”

 After hosting the Squirrels of Benin Republic on November 14, the Eagles will fly to Maseru for a Day Two encounter with the Crocodiles of Lesotho on November 19.
