2022 World Cup: Super Eagles to play Mexico

Nigeria will take on Mexico in a friendly ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Although the Super Eagles failed to qualify for the tournament, El Tri are among the 29 countries that have already booked their places.

Mexico qualified alongside the United States of America and Canada from North America.

Nigeria made it to the final African qualifying round for the tournament, but lost out after drawing 1-1 with Ghana at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja.

The Black Stars joined Senegal, Cameroon, Tunisia, and Morocco as Africa’s flag bearers.

Led by Gerardo Martino, El Tri will face the Super Eagles in September as part of four friendly games lined up to prepare Mexico for the challenges at the World Cup, according to Medio Tiempo.

In Qatar, Mexico has been drawn in Group C against Argentina, Poland, and Saudi Arabia.
