Berti Vogts Plan Nigeria's Super Eagles Matches For Abuja

Super Eagles may end up playing an international friendly at the Abuja National Stadium later this month, according to plans set in motion by the team's head coach, Berti Vogts.

Vogts is contemplating lining the Eagles out against an African team in Abuja on the last lap of his preparations for the Nations Cup in Ghana, while also using the game as a special send forth from Nigerian soccer fans for the squad.

Details of Vogts' programme revealed that the Abuja encounter would follow on the friendly against Sudan, which has been confirmed to hold in Malaga, Spain on January 9.

Should the German tactician's plans materialise, the Eagles will leave their camp in Malaga on the 13 of this month, in order to play the friendly before heading to Ghana a few days earlier than originally planned.

Initially, the Eagles were billed to leave Malaga on the 19 to attend a short farewell party in Abuja before heading to Ghana, but an adjustment is now likely to be made to that schedule.
