Super Eagles’ Head Coach, Samson Siasia will on Thursday at the Media Centre of the National Stadium, Abuja unveil his list of players for the high-profile inter national friendly against Argentina and the African Cup of Nations qualifier against Ethiopia.
The World Press Conference, which begins at 2pm, commences after Siasia would have finished defending the list before members of the technical committee of the Nigeria Football Federation at the NFF Secretariat earlier in the day.
The big Guinness The Match comes up eight years after the Super Eagles clashed with another South American and global giant, Brazil in an international friendly also at the National Stadium, Abuja on 11th June, 2003. It was the first big game at the then newly-constructed National Stadium, with the Eagles losing by three goals.
Argentina’s Head Coach, Sergio Batista, who also squared off against Siasia in the final match of the 2008 Olympic Games Men’s Football Tournament in Beijing, China released his team list for the game on Monday.
Siasia will use the same set of players for Guinness The Match as well as the 2012 African Nations Cup qualifier against Ethiopia in Addis Ababa on Sunday, 5th June.
