In a bid to ensure adequate preparation for the Flying Eagles ahead of the 2011 CAF African Youth Championship AYC slated for Tripoli, Libya, the Nigerian Football Federation has confirmed that the Flying Eagles will engage in two top friendly games against the North African nation.
Scribe of the Federation, Barrister Musa Amadu said the glasshouse would adopt their plan B after initial plans to play Egypt in a warm up game failed to materialize due to the political unrest there.
“Initially we wanted to expose the team to a two legged friendly games in Egypt but the on-going crisis in that country has knocked out such plans. So alternatively we have concluded plans for the team to travel to Benghazi where they will engage the Libyan junior national team. The team would depart the country on the 10th and the matches would be played on the 13th and the 15th in Benghazi” states Acting General Secretary of the NFF, Barrister Musa Amadu
