Nigeria U23 under Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle will play their first test game against NNL side Remo Stars today as they intensify their preparations for an U23 AFCON qualifier against DR Congo.
Kick-off today at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne is 5pm.
The U23s have been training in Ikenne ahead of the DRC clash, which is fixed for November 13 in Lubumbashi with the return leg in Nigeria four days later.
Eric Chelle is expected to call up several foreign-based pros to fortify the team in time for this match.
DRC beat Mauritania 2-1 on aggregate to qualify for this round of the qualifying series, which will lead all the way from the U23 AFCON next year to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics..
