The South African men’s football team will play Nigeria in an international friendly match on 29 March at the Mbombela stadium in Nelspruit, the South African Football Association (Safa) confirmed on their twitter account this morning.
Bafana Bafana was set to play World Cup finalist Argentina at the end of the month, but the fixture was cancelled due to the Copa America tourname, which is taking place in South America soon, Safa said.
Nigeria will look to bring their ‘A’ game and regain their glory after failing dismally to qualify for the 2015 African Cup of Nations.
The ‘Super Eagles’ as they are known, failed to beat Bafana in their last qualifying match, which ultimately saw them failing to defend the title they won in 2013.
The two teams will meet for the third time in less than seven months, eager to renew their football rivalry. Their last match ended in a 2-2 draw in November.
