On the date of the match, Rohr noted that “…you can’t be in talks with a nation like Germany without a date in mind, so we have proposed a date of the 17 November 2017 at a yet to be agreed venue.”
“For now we are looking at three venues - . Soon a decision will be reached by both parties and an announcement will be made as well.”
The official announcement from the Nigeria’s football body is being awaited to finally confirm the date of the fixture.
