NFF Confirms Super Eagles Vs Mexico Friendly

The Nigerian Football Federation has confirmed that the Super Eagles will engage the Mexico national team in an international friendly on July 3rd in Los Angeles, USA.

According to Demola Olajiire, Director of Media of the NFF, the game will come after the friendly game against Cameroon which will take place in Austria on June 4th.

This was a confirmation of the announcement made by the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) that the friendly international against Nigeria will be part of its preparations for the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup.

According to the Mexican FA, the match is billed for the Los Angeles Coliseum at 8pm local time and as a demonstration of its seriousness, the Mexican FA has said tickets for the game will go on sale on May 27 and urged the national team’s supporters to travel down to Los Angeles for the match.

The game is the fourth game of MexTour 2021, joining the already announced games in Dallas, Atlanta and Nashville, which will be played before the start of the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup.


It will be the fifth meeting between both sides since 1995. On that occasion at the Confederations Cup in Riyadh Saudi Arabia, Daniel Amokachi’s 33rd minute goal cancelled out Ramon Ramirez’s opener 12 minutes earlier for a 1-1 draw before the Mexicans went on to win on penalties.

They met again 12 years later in 2007 in Juarez, Mexico and played out a 2-2 draw, Juan Carlos Cacho and Obafemi Martins each scoring a brace. At the next meeting in 2013, it was another 2-2 draw with Brown Ideye’s goal and a Gerardo Torrado own goal securing a share of the spoils.

Their last meeting was in 2014 as the Super Eagles prepared for the World Cup in Brazil with scores ending 0-0.

This NFF are not ambitious


Look at the Chelsea story, .... Lampard was remove and a serious minded coach is doing the needful

Four can't take us any where forget he won us 3rd place at AFCON

At our level that's not what we should celebrate... All our local coaches has done that and Keshi even won us the AFCON


Except they should tell us openly they are gaining from rohr behind

Capello and van gaal are done at the top level and allegri is never going to coach Nigeria
It's high time the NFF set up a proper football coaching school not that NIS Crap

Sir you might be right about Capello, but I don't think so as regards Louis Van Gaal. That man is class, although a little controversial at times. He's still one of the best tacticians of the older generation of coaches.

And also remember he's a great nurturer of talents. From Rashford to Alaba to Xavi to Muller, Badstuber, Victor Valdez. He converted Bastian Schweinsteiger from a flying winger to one of the best central midfielders in the world especially around 2012-2014 due to injuries taking away some of his pace. It's a long list.

This is a good friendly however they should be playing the likes of Colombia, Chile who are quarterfinalists most times

If nigeria aim is quarterfinal they should be playing Holland, Spain Colombia , Germany, Chile, Uruguay etc

Of course they do. If a coach like Jo Bonfere handles this team, Nigeria would not only win the AFCON, but would also reach the semis at the World Cup. We've got talented players playing football all over Europe, as well as South America.

Yes, you've very right. I thought they would have gone for Chile or Brazil. We need powerhouse teams that would expose our weaknesses on time, otherwise we would struggle again at the qualifiers.
