The planned international friendly match between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Albiceleste of Argentina has been relocated to the United States of America. Originally set to take place in China, the game was canceled due to a disagreement between Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi and Chinese soccer authorities. The new date for the match in March is yet to be announced.
Chinese football authorities were left displeased when Lionel Messi declined to participate in a friendly match between his club, Inter Miami, and Hong Kong X1. Messi’s decision was influenced by a groin injury he was dealing with at the time. In other international football news, Argentina is scheduled to play against El Salvador in another friendly match in March. Meanwhile, the Super Eagles of Nigeria intend to use their upcoming friendly match as part of their preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic, scheduled for June.
