Revealed: The Venue, Kick Off Time For Nigeria’s Games Against Algeria And Tunisia

The three-time African Champions will play their first game in almost a year when they take on Le Fennecs on October 9 before taking on the Carthage Eagles four days later 

Details on Nigeria’s friendly games against African rival, Algeria and Tunisia have been revealed. The Super Eagles will face the defending African Champion at The Jacques Lehmans Arena in Austria with kick-off time set for 7:30 pm.

Gernot Rohr’s men then take on Tunisia at the same venue four days later with kick-off time also set for 7:30 pm Nigerian time.

The Super Eagles have not played since they beat Lesotho 4-2 in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers last November.

Their clash against Algeria will be the first match between the two sides since their 2019 AFCON semi-final clash, which the North Africans won.

Both friendly games in October will serve as preparation for the AFCON qualifying doubleheader against Sierra Leone in November.
