Former Super Eagles goalie Goalie Dosu Joseph has submitted that Eagles national team should play more North African countries so as to understand how the Egyptians play, even as both sides are set to battle in an international friendly on the 22nd of this month. Both Egypt and Nigeria have sealed qualification to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON)and have decided to begin preparation for the tournament. “The coach, Rohr is on the right track…I know for a certainty that the NFF will not relax, as they want to win the championship after helping the team qualify”. The game is expected on Tuesday, March 26 before the Super Eagles take on Seychelles in their final group game of the qualification series. Nigeria and Egypt have faced off 18 times, the Super Eagles have the edge with seven wins, while the Pharaohs have five wins and they have drawn five times.
