Nigeria have insisted that their arrangements to play Paraguay in an international friendly on March 3 are still on course, despite reports that the South Americans will be playing Ghana on the same date.

NFF Secretary General Bolaji Ojo-Oba told KickOffNigeria.com that the Glass House were aware of the reports linking Paraguay with Ghana, but said they had received reassurances from the Paraguayans that their arrangements with Nigeria were still in place.

"We are aware of the rumours that they want to play Ghana. we contacted them as soon as we saw it, and they assured us that that was not true," Ojo-Oba said on Sunday night. "We will definitely play Paraguay on March 3 in London."

"They are sending the contract over to us on Monday. We will look at it, and if all goes as agreed, we will sign it and return it to them."

A venue is yet to be picked for the game, according to Ojo-Oba, who says the Paraguayans are handling those arrangements.

"They are the ones taking care of that part of the arrangements and speaking with the English FA."

Ojo-Oba's position appears to be given credence by the international fixture list on the FIFA website. A week ago, Paraguay versus Ghana was listed as one of the friendly games for March 3, but has now been taken off the calendar.

Nigeria have been drawn with Argentina, Greece and South Korea for the World Cup in June.

i think Nigeria will beat Paraguay but they will not qualify in their group. May God help them to qualify

I am sure Nigeria will win paraguay beacuse they want to impress their new coach (whoever he may end up being)
I think that the scoes will be 1-0 or 2-1 for Nigeria!!!

For the world cup, this is my prediction
Nigeria 2-0 S. Korea
Nigeria 1-1 (or 1-0) Greece
Nigeria 1-1 Argentina

EAGLES FRIENDLY RESCHEDULED?

Nigeria's friendly against Paraguay may be played at The Valley, home ground of Charlton Athletic, but a day earlier than originally scheduled, at the request of The FA.

England play Egypt at Wembley on March 3, and NFF officials told KickOffNigeria.com that The Football Association do not want other games detracting from the Three Lions game.

Already one other friendly scheduled for London has had to be moved to an earlier kickoff, the game between Ivory Coast and Korea Republic.

The Nigeria game is thus expected to be played on March 2.
