'It Cannot Be Done' - Rohr Ends Talk Of Nigeria Vs Morocco Pre-AFCON Friendly
Published: May 09, 2019Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has quickly dismissed reports that suggested that the Nigeria Football Federation agreed a pre-Africa Cup of Nations friendly against Morocco on June 9 in France.
The report was fabricated in the first place, for the simple reason that the Super Eagles have a confirmed friendly against the Zimbabwe National Team on June 8 in Asaba.
The day after the match, the Super Eagles delegation will depart Asaba for Ismailia, Egypt, where they will set up a final training camp.
"It was about organizing this friendly match, but unfortunately it cannot be done," explained Rohr to medias24.com.
Nigeria will also play a friendly against the top ranked African nation, Senegal on June 16, six days before their AFCON opener against Burundi.
The three-time African champions will begin their preparations for the tournament in Egypt on June 2 in Asaba.
