South Africa have agreed to play Nigeria in a friendly match on March 29

Nigeria had planned a friendly with West African perennial rivals Ghana for March 29 in London, but world football governing body FIFA called it off because it was against the rule for a team to play international friendlies within two continents that will involve more than five hours flying time between the continents.

Nigeria will now play Bolivia on March 26 in Uyo before flying out to South Africa for another friendly with Bafana Bafana three days later.

Last November, Bafana upstaged the Super Eagles in Uyo to qualify for the 2015 AFCON after they were forced to a 2-2 draw.

Both teams also played out a goalless draw in a first leg 2015 AFCON qualifier in Cape Town in October.
