“We are delighted to announce that Arsenal Football Club will face the Super Eagles of Nigeria in Abuja,” said promoter David Omigie of DanJan Sports.
“The NFF have agreed that the country will present a strong side as Coach Stephen Keshi continues his development process,” Mr Omigie said.
“The Arsenal manager [Arsene Wenger] will also use this game to showcase his full squad for the 2012/2013 football season.”
“It is returning as a result of the fantastic support which exists for the team, not only in Nigeria, but across the entire continent.”
