Rohr wants African opposition for friendlies ahead 2021 AFCON qualifiers

Super Eagles of Nigeria Head Coach, Gernot Rohr has called on the Nigerian Football Federation to secure international friendly matches against African oppositions ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in November.

The next FIFA free window will be next month which Rohr expects the Eagles will take advantage of before facing the squirrels of Benin at the Samuel Ogbemudia syadium in Benin, the Edo state capital.

“Now it’s time to focus on the AFCON qualifiers. The game against Ukraine has gone and the boys did very well in my opinion,” he told AOIFootball.

“Next month we have two possible windows and I think it will be good for us to have an African opponent because of the qualifiers in November,” said Rohr who wants the match played in Europe.
