SuperSport has secured the rights to broadcast the international friendly between the Nigerian men’s national team and their Sierra Leonean counterparts live on SuperSport 7 from 7pm (Nigerian Time) on Wednesday.
The game will be the first competitive test for head coach Samson Siasia since he took charge of the Nigerian team in December.
Siasia said he is looking forward to his first game and will serve as an opportunity to see his players firsthand.
“This will afford me and my backroom staff the chance to look at some of our new and young players. We will use the game as part of preparation for the Nations Cup qualifier against Ethiopia. Playing in Lagos will help us prepare since our Nations Cup qualifier will also hold there.”
Nigeria should have the likes of John Mikel Obi, Vincent Enyeama, Obinna Nsofor and Victor Anichebe for this game against Sierra Leone’s foreign stars that include Mohammed Kallon, John Trye, Sherif Suma, Ibrahim Koroma, Ibrahim Kargbo, Benjamin Sesay, Ibrahim Bangura, Mohammed Bangura and Sulaiman Fullah Sesay.
The international friendly is the first game that will take place in Lagos in more than a decade.
