“We are holding talks with the Rivers State Government, and the NFF is positive that the Super Eagles and Mena will play at the Amiesiamaka Stadium on September 8.

The letter from the Federation Nigerienne de Football, addressed to the General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, and dated 6thAugust, 2015, stated: “We write to confirm our participation on the said match in Port Harcourt on the 8thSeptember and our collaboration with Mr. Jairo Pachon, FIFA Match Agent for the success of the organization.”
