Eagles seek Croatia friendly

African Champions, Super Eagles, have settled to challenge Croatia in an international friendly as part of its build up for the Brazil 2014 World Cup final, the President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Aminu Maigari, has revealed.
The three-time African champions will be heading to Brazil in June after earning one of five African tickets as they came out on top of their play-off clash against Ethiopia last year.
Maigari has revealed they will be looking to set up a testing challenge against the Croatians, but only after the friendly against Mexico on March 14.
“We are still waiting for the Croatian FA to confirm a date, but that will definitely come after the friendly against Mexico,” he said.
“We all know that Croatia and Bosnia (one of Nigeria’s Group F opponents in Brazil) share the same border and both countries play almost the same way.
“So, a match with them will give the Eagles a glimpse of what to expect from Bosnia at the World Cup.
“We intend to see the team play a number of friendlies to put them in a competitive shape before the World Cup.”
