Ahead Russia 2018: Nigeria to play England

Nigeria's Super Eagles would trade tackles with the Three Lions of
England in a friendly match ahead of Russia 2018.

The match would hold at the Wembley Stadium on 2 June, 2018.

It would mark the third time Nigeria would be playing England at the
senior level. The first meeting between both countries was a friendly
match in the Old Wembley in November, 1994. When Nigeria lost 1-0.

The second tie was at the group stages of the 2002 World Cup in
Japan/South Korea. Where an inspired Vincent Enyeama helped Nigeria to
earn a 0-0 draw in her only point from that tournament.

Nigeria are in the same group with Iceland, Croatia and Argentina.
While England would play Tunisia, Costa Rica and Belgium.
