Top officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will not confirm an August clash against South Africa despite claims to the contrary.
SAFA boss Kirten Nematandani Monday announced that Bafana will tackle the Super Eagles on August 10.
But on Wednesday, organisers for a proposed friendly between West African rivals Nigeria and Ghana billed for August 9 are to unveil their plans for the London clash.
Chairman of the technical committee of the NFF, Chris Green, told MTNFootball.com that nothing has been agreed with South Africa.
“The Ghana match stays,” said Green.
MTNFootball.com checks showed that the London match against Ghana is being organised by the same company who facilitated the high-profile friendly against Argentina on June 1 in Abuja.
It is the same group that has proposed a money-spinning rematch against the South Americans in Bangladesh in September.
It also arranged the participation of the country’s U20 team, the Flying Eagles, to an invitational tournament in Suwon, South Korea, that also attracted Uruguay and New Zealand.
