The Nigeria Football Federation have now announced that the Flying Eagles will play Moroccan club Kawkab U-20 on Wednesday in their final preparatory game before traveling to Egypt on Thursday for the Nations Cup.

The match’s kick-off is scheduled to occur at 5 p.m. at the Complexe Sportif, Sidi Mohammed, Ain Sebaa, Casablanca.

Nigeria’s Flying Eagles will play their first game of the AFCON on Sunday against the Cub Lions of Senegal. Their subsequent group stage game will be against Mozambique and Egypt.
