Gernot Rohr, the coach of the Nigeria's senior men national team, has confirmed that the super eagles will face the black stars of Ghana in a friendly match which will be played in London in March 2017.

Although Nigeria have already secured a friendly duel with the Teranga Lions of Senegal on March 23, 2017, the 63-year-old German explained that his wards will also face black stars of Ghana.

The super eagles handler wants his players to be in good shape ahead of their double header against African champions Cameroon in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

“Senegal who are one of the strongest countries in Africa will play us in March and we will play Ghana who were fourth at the last Nations Cup in Gabon.
''We don’t play these games for results. That is not to necessarily win but to see our team and the new players who will be invited,'' Rohr explained.
The Super Eagles are currently leading Group B with six points after two games played so far in the 2018 World Cup qualifying series.
