The Super Eagles will take on Russia in a historic yet controversial friendly during the international break in June.
This will be the first-ever meeting between Nigeria and Russia at full international level.
SCORENigeria has now scooped that the friendly will be played in the Russian capital city of Moscow and the date is May 31.
The 2018 World Cup hosts are under a FIFA ban following the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, but that has partially been relaxed after Russia U17 team were allowed to play in international competitions.
Officials told SCORENigeria that it is after this engagement that the Super Eagles will fly out to England.
It’s you guys and the bias western media that are referring to the match as controversial. In what sense is a friendly match against Russia controversial?
Poor journalism at work again.
