Harambee Stars of Kenya have requested for a friendly with Nigeria in London in March, officials have informed MTNFootball.com

Kenya Football Federation (KFF) have written the Nigeria Football Federation for a friendly on March 5 in London.

MTNFootball.com specially gathered that the KFF request may not see the light of day as the NFF are shopping to play a tougher opponent on that day as it is the only FIFA-free window before the World Cup in Brazil.

Kenya were forced to a 1-1 draw by hosts Nigeria in a 2014 World Cup qualifier earlier this year, before the Eagles beat them 1-0 in Nairobi in a reverse fixture.

However, officials have expressed doubts over the possibility of this match going ahead.

"I am not sure this can work even though we would have loved to honour it. We would be preparing for the World Cup and it’s only right we play countries with similar football culture in our group at the World Cup," a top NFF official said.

Nigeria are drawn against Argentina, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iran in the first round of Brazil 2014.

Krasid: No, we don't want kenya or any african team.We should play a tough european,south american or even an asian opponent.

bizibrain: I trust NFF, dey wont WASTE resources on a friendly match with ANY african country. We r done wit all africa country.

NFF should pls organise a friendly with any of Belgium/uruguay/spain/switzerland, if possible, I would love a friendly with brazil nd germany.

Kenya is just 2 small 4 my superstar super eagle.

adegwurulez: i heard Ghana is playing neitherlands, how true? Let the chan team play harambee. I read somewhere that keshi is advising nff to organize friendly with peru. Me i want brazil o, they have cameroon in their group while we have argentina.

CFCfan: Lmao.
