Nigeria to play South Africa in friendly on March 29.

The Nigeria Football Federation announced on Friday that the Super Eagles will play a friendly game against South Africa on Sunday, March 29, three days after hosting Bolivia in
Uyo.
The match comes a little over four months after a 2-2 draw in Uyo between the two teams meant Nigeria failed to qualify for the 30th Africa Cup of Nations finals in Equatorial Guinea.
The highly anticipated encounter will take place at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit where the Super Eagles played their first two matches enroute to winning the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations title.
“The upcoming game will definitely be another grudge encounter and both countries’ coaches would like to put the record straight.
Whenever the two nations clash, the entire country comes to a
standstill, more so with a huge Nigerian community in South Africa, this will be another explosive clash. This is a match soccer fans must not miss,” said Dr Danny Jordaan on the Safa website.
While South Africa will be looking to pick up from their group stage elimination at this year’s Afcon, Nigeria are yet to appoint a
substantive coach since the end of the World Cup in 2014.
