“In October, we will be flying the team to Baltimore for friendly games against Ghana possibly, Cameroon and Canada, maybe. We will sort that out in the coming weeks.
“We will tidy up all the documentation. You will be playing at the 73,000 capacity M&T Bank Stadium.”
The home Eagles lost 4-0 to Mexico in a friendly on Sunday morning.

Good plan for the home based SE, hopefully in preparation for CHAN, n definitely not main stream SE for now I will wanna believe. Please in doing this, we must not lose to Ghana especially, as there is huge pride associated to games involving Ghana. Please Pinnick get Manu Garba to be a part of this Chan team as well as him having a working understanding with Rohr. Manu certainly remains one of the best available local coaches nigeria has at the moment. Also some of the players that couldn’t measure up against Mexico should be replaced. About 6 of those players just don’t have the quality to play in a national League, not to mention, a national team. I don’t like mentioning names but will do if they get next invitation.
It would hurt me more if we lose to Ghana even more than the Mexico loss….
All these nonsense Amaju Pinnick is the with this Super Eagles B is because he doesn’t have money to pay the match bonus of SE main team…forget all these jargons Pinnick is saying concerning exposure for the Chan Eagles
America maybe market dey there sha.
Why not use players who couldn’t make the Super Eagles’ main team than home-based players? These guys are just marketing players to pocket money. Forget about what Pinnick is saying because he is a politician. Some of these local players would leave for abroad soon and the cycle continues.
