Serbia in talks for Nigeria friendly
The president of Serbia-Nigeria Chamber of Commerce, Dr Temi Gold says he has contacted. Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) over a friendly game against the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
” I can assure you that we are in contact with the NFF President, Mr Melvin Pinnick Amaju, he has assured us that we can work together. We are also talking to the Technical Committee Chairman, Barrister Chris Green, and we are getting closer”, Temi Gold said.
Serbia have booked a spot in next year’s World Cup just like Nigeria, and they view the Super Eagles as a credible opponent to test their readiness for the World Cup after their impressive performance in the qualifying series.
Confirming the statement NFF, Amaju Pinnick said Nigeria will be willing to take on Serbia
” We are open to the idea of playing against Serbia as all doors for friendly games are presently open in our bid to prepare well for the World Cup, if it clicks, including the game against Serbia, we will open up. It’s really a work in progress for us at the NFF”, Amaju Pinnick concluded.
If fixed, it will be the first meeting between both nations since they last met in a pre world cup friendly in 1998 won by Serbia 3-0.
