Nigeria vs Atletico Madrid- May 21

[metalalloy]

In Uyo. When was this game added to the friendlies calendar?

Code: Select all

According to Soccernet, the Super Eagles will use the match to appreciate the government and people of Akwa Ibom State for their support so far.

With three friendly games and the World Cup waiting for the senior team, [b][u]Rohr said he won’t feature senior players in the friendly match.[/u][/b] So it’ll fall on either the CHAN Eagles or selected home-based players to take on the Spanish club.

The friendly match will not only give Nigerian football fans the chance to see stars like Fernando Torres and Diego Costa, it’ll also be a big opportunity for the Nigerian team to test their skills against a 115-year-old club currently in second place in the UEFA ranking.

The game will take place at Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo on May 21.

Apart from the UCL final, fifa mandates that all players the 32 World Cup provisional lists must not play any football btw May 21 - May 27. The earliest WC camps can open is May 28. It's even funny that we play Congo on May 28 or something.

Can someone help post this letter from fifa?

...Nigerians are weird people. Thanks to easy access to computer and social media any riffraff can now operate and report on something so the world can read, and confused gullible ones can come post on CE.

What if SE players not among the 32 are selected for friendlies within those dates?

We will wait and see now. Colin Udoh who also mentioned the game is also a confused gullible one.

Keep talking.

The players for this friendly as mentioned in the article will most likely be CHAN and home based SE players.

Not impossible. I made mention in my fisrt post that it's only the players on the provisional list that are excluded from playing. Plus NPFL also seems to have an agreement with La Liga. So it's very plausible.

May 22nd ..

Spanish La Liga giants Atletico Madrid will play the Super Eagles of Nigeria on 22 May in the maiden GOtv MAX Cup promoted by Multichoice.

Atletico who knocked out Arsenal to reach the Europa League final are expected to come with some of their big name players as they face Super Eagles Team B at the Uyo Township Stadium.

“We are delighted to bring one of the three biggest clubs from LaLiga to Nigeria in what we believe will be a historic visit”, said Martin Mabutho, General Manager, Sales and Marketing, MultiChoice Nigeria.

“As you all know Atlético Madrid is one of the top clubs in LaLiga. GOtv customers and indeed, football fans in Nigeria, will have the rare opportunity of watching the stars play the Super Eagles right here on Nigerian soil”, he said.

Speaking further, Mabutho said: “MultiChoice is undoubtedly the continent’s leader in sports and we have repeatedly shown this not only by the exclusive content we broadcast, but also by the way we support sports in Nigeria and put the country on the global sports map through exciting initiatives like the GOtv MAX Cup”.

Founded in 1903 in Madrid, Spain, Atlético Madrid are one of Europe’s most successful football clubs with 10 LaLiga and 10 Copa Del Rey trophies.

The club, which currently sits second in the Spanish top flight, are also three times UEFA Champions League finalists.

In his remarks, the President of LaLiga, Javier Tebas said: “This is a historic announcement and we are excited to share this news with our Nigerian fans: Atletico Madrid, one of LaLiga’s greatest clubs, will come to Nigeria and give our fans the chance to enjoy watching their stars up close.

Top club but not likely to be the top players that will play

Rohr says he would be able to assess Junior Lokosa on May 21 against Atletico for the purpose of possibly selecting him for the WC. How's he gonna do that if fifa says all players in the provisional list should be resting from May 21-28? Once Lokosa makes the 30 or 25 man list, he's out of the game, like all the Spain players in Atletico Madrid. In fact, I am sure those ones wont even make the trip.

Yes, and that's when camp is supposed to open according to fifa. I will assume NFF has a plan. to keep them holed up somewhere. Without training, the propensity for injuries is high.
