--Maigari reveals on-going talks over a pre-World Cup friendly
The president of the Nigeria Football Federation, Aminu Maigari, confirms that there could still be an international friendly between the Super Eagles and Croatia before the 2014 World Cup in Brazil kicks-off in June.
In a chat with AfricanFootball.com, Maigari said the NFF are still communicating with the Croatia FA over the possibility of the friendly happening.
"We are in touch with the Croatian federation, we had fixed a date sometimes ago to really see how we could further develop that relationship by even playing a friendly, either in Croatia or England or even in Nigeria," Maigari said.
"But some things cropped up and the game was cancelled at that point in time, but we are still looking forward to a fresh date from the Croatians. So, as soon as the date is fixed we would make it public," he added.
Nigeria have friendly internationals against Greece, Scotland and USA ahead of June’s world showpiece.
