The NFF revealed that the three-time African champions will play Venezuela and Colombia in the United States during November’s international break.
Nigeria will take on Venezuela on Friday, 14 November at the Shell Stadium in Houston, with kick-off scheduled for 8pm local time (2am Saturday, 15 November in Nigeria).
Eric Chelle’s side will be in action four days later against Colombia’s Los Cafeteros at Citi Field Stadium in Flushing Meadows, New York with kick-off also set for 8pm Eastern Time (1am Wednesday, 19 November in Nigeria).
