The match at Cairo International Stadium will begin at 3pm Nigeria time.

Meanwhile, Nigeria’s U-23 boys, Olympic Eagles will now face their Guinean counterparts at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja on Wednesday, March 22nd, in the last round of qualifiers for this year’s Africa U23 Cup of Nations.
