Harambee Stars of Kenya have requested for a friendly with the Super Eagles of Nigeria in London in March, 2014.
According to the information by MTNFootball, Kenya Football Federation (KFF) have addressed the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for a friendly on March 5, 2014, in London.
Several officials supposed that the request by KFF may not see the light of day, as the NFF might be looking for a tougher opponent on that day, as it is the only free window approved by FIFA before the World Cup in Brazil.
Therefore, doubts over the possibility of such a re-match exist.
"I am not sure this can work even though we would have loved to honour it. We would be preparing for the World Cup and it's only right we play countries with similar football culture in our group at the World Cup," a source from the NFF said.
It would be recalled that Kenya were forced to a 1-1 draw by hosts Nigeria in a 2014 World Cup qualifier earlier this year, before the Eagles beat them 1-0 in Nairobi in a reverse fixture.
The Super Eagles are drawn against Argentina, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iran in the group stage of 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
