After the initial revelation by the Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr, Poland have now confirmed they will be playing an international friendly against Nigeria in March next year.

Rohr had earlier said, confirming the friendly: “Croatia is capable of great things with a team of stars playing in the biggest clubs. This is the most important match, and we hope to prepare for it against opponents similar to Croatia.

''So we will play Poland at home on March 23rd. We are looking for a second opponent in Europe for another FIFA date of the spring.'' Rohr was quoted as saying on football365.fr.

And now, spokesperson of the Poland Football Association (PZPN), Jakub Kwiatkowski tweeted in Polish, which translates to English as: ““We can confirm that on March 23, we’re playing with Nigeria. Decisions on the venue of the match not yet made.”
Poland are in Group H, along with Senegal, Colombia Japan, and are looking to play against a team with similarities to their group opponents, with Nigeria providing what they may need to expect against Senegal.
