Nigeria take on Algeria in a friendly game organised to help Gernor Rohr’s men stay in top shape for November’s Africa Cup of Nations double-header qualification tie against Sierra Leone.
The game against the reigning African champions is the Super Eagles’ first international match of 2020 as Covid-19 ensured all football-related activities was placed on hold.
Djamel Belmadi's men clash with the three-time African champions for the fourth time in three years. The Desert Foxes had the upper hand in their last encounter at the 2019 Afcon semi-final in Cairo.
The international friendly has been scheduled for 19:30 (West African TIme) on Friday, October 9.
