FIFA approves November 14 clash between Nigeria and Argentina




Nigeria's friendly against Argentina has now been confirmed after FIFA gave the go-ahead for the November 14 clash.
The game in Krasnodar needed FIFA approval as it was being played on a different continent, and regulations not only call for at least two full calendar days between matches, but also that if the second game is a friendly being played in a separate confederation, then the flight time must not exceed five hours.
Nigeria play Algeria on November 10 in their final World Cup qualifier, before flying to Krasnodar in Russia for the friendly against Argentina. The squad are scheduled to travel to Russia on a chartered flight, which would keep the flying time well within the five-hour limit.
