Jollof Derby: Super Eagles friendly against Ghana to hold in London

The Super Eagles’ international friendly against arch-rivals, the Black Stars of Ghana, will take place in England, according to reports.

The three-time African champions are scheduled to face Russia and their West African counterparts during the June international window.

According to SCORENigeria, the Super Eagles will take on Russia in Moscow on Friday, June 6, before flying to London to face the Black Stars.
