The Super Eagles will now host Sierra Leone in a 2021 AFCON qualifier on March 27 at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba, officials said.
“We have finally settled for the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba for the qualifying match against Sierra Leone. The match will be played on Friday, 27th March 2020,” NFF general secretary Mohammed Sanusi disclosed.
The venue, named after former Nigeria captain and coach Keshi, has already hosted several international matches since it was opened two years ago.
The reverse tie in Freetown is most likely to be March 31.
The Eagles lead their qualifying group on six points after wins over Benin Republic and Lesotho.
They are slated for qualifiers against Benin Republic in Cotonou in June and Lesotho in Nigeria in September.
