Olympic Eagles host Guinea on March 22 in Ibadan in a U-23 AFCON qualifier
At the Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan on March 22, the Nigerian U-23 team, the Olympic Eagles, will host Guinea in the opening leg of their 2023 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations match.
On Monday, March 27, the reversal of the fixture will occur.
The match is most likely to take place in Morocco because the Confederation of African Football (CAF, has not authorised any venue in Guinea to host international games.
The overall champions will earn a spot in the U-23 AFCON, which will be held in Morocco later in the year.
Overall, the Olympic Eagles defeated Tanzania 3-1 in the preliminary round.
In 2015, Nigeria triumphed in the competition held in Senegal.
