Super Eagles will hosts Congo in a friendly on May 28 in Abuja ahead of a glamour warm-up against England on June 2 officials have announced.

The Eagles will also battle fellow World Cup qualifiers Serbia in London on March 27 after they have played against another Russia 2018-bound team Poland four days earlier.

The team will train in Abuja before the Congo match.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) announced this during a sponsorship agreement with Coca-Cola today in Lagos.

The Eagles are due to fly out to Russia on June 3 from London after coach Gernot Rohr would have named his final 23-man squad for the World Cup.

4 friendlies before World Cup is enough. I hope they don’t schedule another friendly against another team excluding the 4 prior to World Cup. We don’t want our players to experience burn out

That was speculated in the media. But the announcement by NFF indicates that the game is against Serbia instead of Ukraine.

You may see it that way but with a 22 man squad and up to 6 substitutions allowed in an international friendly a few more friendlies won't be a problem,it just depends what needs to be tried out or adjusted.

The March friendlies are to finalise the squad. The May/June friendlies to fine tune tactics. Our keepers need as many games to build confidence and build chemistry with the defense line

the friendlies very important for the keepers especially- and bearing late injuries looks like Uzoho and Ezenwa will be in Russia- 3rd spot will be one of Akpeyi Alampasu and Enyema
