There is happiness ahead of next month’s prestigious international friendly between Nigeria and England’s ‘A’ teams really began to build up on Thursday after the President of Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Melvin Pinnick and the 2nd Vice President, Mallam Shehu Dikko, met with the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, His Excellency Paul Arkwright.
Arkwright received the NFF chieftains at the British High Commission in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and used the opportunity to inform the Football Federation that the High Commission will organize a number of events around the match both in the United Kingdom and Nigeria.
“Let me also assure you that England is taking this match very serious. It is more than just a game; it is a big preparatory game towards the FIFA World Cup. More than that, the historical ties between our two countries are there to be considered, so it will also serve to strengthen and improve and lift up the relations and good collaboration between our countries,” said Arkwright.
