The Super Eagles will play the Black Stars Ghana in an international friendly game fixed for March 29, 2015 in London.
The Nigeria Football Federation(NFF) secured the friendly game to engage the Super Eagles and to ensure that the FIFA free window is utilised.
Initially the plan was to play Brazil on that same day, however, the Selecao will be playing Chile at the Emirates Stadium that same day.

The Super Eagles will first play a friendly game against Bolivia at the Nest of Champions in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State on March 26th.
Then after the game against the South Americans, the Nigerian contingent will depart for London.
“The most important thing in football today is to win. It was important London for the West African derby.
Games between Nigeria and Ghana are always feisty, with both countries having an extra incentive to beat the other because of the on-and-off the pitch rivalry between them.
Incidentally, the last time both countries met was also in London, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw at Vicarage road in 2011.
But Ghana have had joy playing Nigerian in recent years, pummeling Nigeria 4-1 in a friendly, also in London in 2007, and beating the Super Eagles at the 2008 African Nations Cup tournament.
