Nigeria will play Ukraine on March 27 in a pre-World Cup International friendly according to reports.
Ukraine did not qualify for the World Cup in neighboring Russia.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have already confirmed friendlies against Poland on March 23 in Warsaw and recently against England on June 2 at Wembley.
The FA’s technical committee – inaugurated on Thursday in Abuja – discussed the Ukraine clash per SCORENigeria.
It was disclosed that the FFU requested for the friendly and the NFF have since accepted this request.
Meanwhile, it is believed the NFF are still hoping to secure another friendly window on May 27 in Abuja.

Re: March 27: Nigeria v Ukraine......
I do not see how the Serbian game can ever be taken off. Rohr will want at least one game in Europe before the team heads to Nigeria for the send-off match in Uyo or Abuja. That wil be the match to welcome the players to camp.walesvilla wrote:too many games - please take off Sebia (if we are playing Ukraine) and Peru.Ayo Akinfe wrote:I expect our schedule to look something like this

Also, it is inevitable that the team will also play one game in Russia once it arrives to acclimatise. Everyone does it as the weekend before the tournament starts is packed with pre-World Cup friendlies. Do you remember us beating North Korea 3-1 in a similar match?

Re: March 27: Nigeria v Ukraine......
It's not been announced on any of the NFF's official channels, so remains to be seen. However, it will be a good addition to the fixture list. Rohr is getting the grade A games he wants, now he need to start working on building a team that will do us proud.Enugu II wrote:Ukraine has been named as the country that Nigeria will play after the Poland friendly in March.

Are you guys suggesting we use Ghana to thank our fans for their support during the qualifiers? This is akin to the OU sooners scheduling an NCAA Div 3 school for Homecoming day football game. Or the Harlem Globetrotters playing the Washington Generals. Are Ghana now the Washington Generals of African soccer?

Poland and Ukraine are very strong teams. That said, our concern shouldnt be the win, or how easy it may or may not be.Robotnik wrote:Poland and Ukraine should be easy wins for SE if we know what we are doing.

Re: March 27: Nigeria v Ukraine......
But wait I don’t know about your knowledge of geography but if Nigeria are playing Poland a few days before why should they fly 1,460.274 miles (mileage accurate according to distance app) to London when the Ukraine are Poland’s Eastern neighbours?walesvilla wrote:the Ukraine game could be played in London!!

6 friendlies before World Cup for a team that heavily relies on its top players like Moses, Mikel, ndidi is risky. Any injuries to our top guys from burn out and it’s wahala
