Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The highly anticipated international friendly between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and world champions Argentina has been called off.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the friendly was called off due to the short time to process visas for the Nigerian delegation.<\/p>\n

The game was earlier scheduled to take place in China but was moved to the United States of America following a disagreement between Argentina captain, Lionel Messi and Chinese authorities.<\/p>\n

Argentina will now take on Costa Rica instead of the Super Eagles.<\/p>\n

Los Albiceleste also have another friendly lined up against El Salvador in March.<\/p>\n

Nigeria will have to look for another opponent as they prepare for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic in June.<\/p>\n
