The Nigeria Football Federation has revealed some of their plans for the Super Eagles ahead of the Afcon finals
Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has ruled out the possibilities of a pre-Africa Cup of Nations friendly with Morocco.
Earlier this week, it was widely reported that Herve Renard’s side are set to trade tackles with the Super Eagles, with the date yet to be made known.
However, Rohr has cleared the air, stating that the tune-up encounter cannot be fixed into their plans.
“It was about organising this friendly match, but unfortunately it can not be done,” Rohr told Medias 24.
Last week, the Nigeria Football Federation released pre-Afcon plans for the Super Eagles, where friendlies against Zimbabwe and Senegal were confirmed.
On June 2, the three-time African champions will start pre-Afcon camp in Asaba, where they will take on Zimbabwe at Stephen Keshi Stadium on June 8.
