Nigeria Super Eagles will face Zimbabwe Warriors and Senegal
Teranga lions to prepare for their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations campaign.
On June 2, Gernot Rohr’s men will start their pre-Afcon camp in Asaba
where they will take on Zimbabwe at the Stephen Keshi Stadium on June 8.
A day later, they will depart Nigeria for Ismaila in Egypt for their
final camp ahead of the tournament.
Their last preparatory game will be against Senegal, billed for the
Ismailia Stadium on June 16.
“We have sealed the matches with the Warriors of Zimbabwe and the Lions
of Teranga and these are two matches we are really looking forward to,” Amaju
Pinnick said in a statement to the media.
“There cannot possibly be a better way to get into the Afcon spirit
than playing the number one ranked team in Africa just before the finals
begin.”
On June 17, the Super Eagles are expected in Alexandria, the venue of
their Group B games.
They open their campaign with Burundi on June 22 before clashes against
Guinea and Madagascar on June 26 and June 30 respectively.
