The Brazil national team on Friday announced that they would be playing a friendly match against Chile and not Nigeria’s Super Eagles on March 29 2015.
The Nigeria Football Federation had before now claimed that arrangements had been concluded to see the Eagles and the Samba Boys go head-on at the newly built Akwa Ibom International Stadium named the ‘Nest of Champions’ on March 29.
However on Friday, Brazil Global Tour confirmed that the Seleceo will meet Chile in a friendly on March 29, 2015 at Emirates Stadium, London.
The game will be a rematch of the World Cup second round clash between the two countries which went down in June of last year and Brazilians emerged tops after prevailing in the penalty shootout in Belo Horizonte.
It is yet to be seen if the NFF will find an alternative for the said date having stated that they will want to make the most of every FIFA window to play friendly games that would help improve the Super Eagles as well as raise their rating.
