Gernot Rohr has said the double-header international friendly match against Cameroon is an opportunity to have good competition in the Super Eagles Team.
The Eagles will commence preparation for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers when they take on Cameroon in Austria.
Their first meeting comes up on Friday June 4th before they will now meet again on June 8th.

The games will give new and fringe players in the Eagles to show what they do following the absence of key stars.
Among the players who would be hoping to stake a claim in the team are the likes of Terem Moffi, Abraham Marcus, Anayo Iwuala, Frank Onyeka, Peter Olayinka and Valentine Ozornwafor.
And looking ahead to the games Rohr, speaking to the Super Eagles Media after the team’s training on Tuesday in Austria, said they will have the chance to see other players which will be good for the team.
“So many players are not here but it is an opportunity for us to try other players, to see new faces who would have the chance to show something.
“It is always important to prepare well for the World Cup qualifiers. It is the last opportunity to prepare well for the qualifiers against Liberia and Cape Verde.
“So we must use this opportunity to be ready and have good competition in the team.”
Rohr stated that the training went well and is looking forward to presenting a good team while praying against injury.
He added:”Training was okay we had 18 players this afternoon. Some of them travelled at night So we were very careful because we don’t want any injuries.
“We will have 20 players tomorrow because two other players will arrive, (Paul) Onuachu and Ahmed Musa. We will try to have a good team and for the two games I hope there wouldn’t be injury.
“The training session was good, good grass, good weather, not too hot and I think we can prepare well ahead of our friendlies against Cameroon.”

Anybody notices the bad photoshop on the shirt?
You have failed oga coach. You are not good enough to build this team. A good coach have to involved half of the new players with the regular ones.
You have seen enough of Ahmed Musa, Balogun, Simon, Sheu and many of them.
Why can’t you try the so many new players like, Nwakali, Dessers, Maja, Alanpasun, Osagwe, Yakubu and mix these players with the few of your main team?
You are here saying all this?
What is going on in this country?
Only the evil people are enjoying Nigeria while the great people of this nation are suffering?

Can we imagine all this bla bla bla again?
Other African countries rejected Oga Rohr, only Nigeria, our oppressors NFF that happy with his work because NFF doesn’t want the best for Nigeria.
I am pretty sure that Amunike can not do this. I am so sure Egbo will do whatever it takes to give every player a chance to represent Nigeria and select the best among the players to represent us at the Afcon and at the world cup.
This our world class coach is repeating the same thing over and over again. This is why I said our players winning all the matches for Nigeria not Oga Rohr tactics.
For you Oga Rohr fans, I am coming for you all soon. Are you guys still expecting this our world class coach to win something spectacular for you and I? You must be joking guys.
I know you all one by one and when the time comes, you people have no where to hide.
Mr. Rohr have failed. Mr. Amaju Pinnick and Buhari have failed too.
Our carbals are the ones manipulating our system and the results are there.
I have said it not long ago that whatever that happened to Nigeria would happened to Super Eagles.
Our country is struggling in all aspects of life to the extent that our oppressors almost killed Showore yesterday.
Showore that fighting for you and I almost passed away yesterday while the looters are enjoying and milking our resources.
Nnamdi Kanu did his best for our country, where is the wise man today?
Now, you understand ba? So, we should open our two eyes koro koro like this for Mr. Amaju and Oga Rohr to destroy our national team?
Super Eagles players are good enough and always available to represent their fatherland. All the gaffer have to do is to select the best squad to serve our nation.
In that regard, where is Nwakali? Where is Dessers? Where is Osagwe? Where is Yakubu? Alanpasun also included.
Are they not Nigerians? Are these players not good enough to face Cameroon and Mexico?
Oga Rohr is here deceiving the people of this great nation?
As I said, I am coming for all of you. This is very frustrating. Hmmm. God bless Nigeria!!!
A fool
Don’t forget as good ik uche for Villarreal, keshi drop him for 2014 world cup
Oniranu
If you are against Rohr let it be for good reason and for the love of this country foosball, you may not love this country buh all of us are here because we love SE. You are claiming you love SE and you want good for the theme yet you are acting like enemy of the theme. If you are against Rohr let pipu see genue reason for doing that. You are asking for Rohr to give some players chance, now the guys that want to play against Cameron most of them are not regulars, you are still coming up with some other names. Is it not more deserving for moffi to be in the theme than dessers. I Kno pple like you what you want is what you want, no matter the consequence, even if NFF employ your coaches and they can’t win any match is this same noise you will be making to maintain your claim. So, don’t come here and confuse pple and make them believe you know what you are saying, when you don’t
@Frank, thank you so much for the insult sir.
A fool @40 is a fool forever. If Nigeria @60 is not fool at @60, why me that telling our carbals the truth is a fool?
Can you see that Frank started with F word and Fool started from F word. so between you and I omo9ja, who is the fool among the two of us?
You may be in abroad enjoying yourself in debt, student loans, car loans, mortgage loans, using two credit cards for fun and forgetting your own people back home, Fulani/Nigerian government are killing our people in Nigeria and you here calling me a fool?
Are you for real if I may ask?
A word is enough for the wise. Thank you Mr. Frank. God bless Nigeria!!!
You’re a big fool for behaving foolishly in public forum @Omo9ja
