Pre-AFCON Friendly: Nigeria vs Senegal To Be Played Behind Closed Doors

The international friendly game ahead of the commencement of the 2019 African Cup Of Nations between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Terenga Lions of Senegal in Ismailia will be played behind closed doors.

Officials confirmed to thenff.com on Thursday that both Nigeria and Senegal camps have agreed Sunday’s duel will be played behind closed door.

At a friendly game at The Hive in London in March 2017 (the most recent of the 21 encounters between the two nations), both teams settled for a 1-1 draw, with Moussa Sow putting the Lions ahead nine minutes into the second half before Kelechi Iheanacho tied the game from the penalty spot with only nine minutes to go.

Nigeria are up against Burundi’s Itamba Ru Mugamba, Guinea’s Syli Nationale and Madagascar’s Barea in Group B of the 32nd Africa Cup of Nations, with Alexandria as venue.
