The Eagles are shopping for friendlies against robust-playing African teams to prepare them for a Titanic World Cup double header against new African champions Cameroon beginning on August 28 in Uyo.
Senegal have already confirmed they will face Nigeria in London on March 23 before they take on Cote d’Ivoire in another test game in France days later.
Local media reports in Nigeria have suggested Burkina Faso will be Nigeria’s second friendly foes in London on March 27.
But this will not be so as Morocco have confirmed a friendly with AFCON 2017 semi-finalists Burkina Faso on March 24 in Marrakech.
This means that Nigeria cannot play against the Burkinabes in London as it will be against FIFA regulation that stipulates no country should play two matches within days across two different continents.
