Barcelona star Neymar is set to be part of a Brazilian
side that will take on Nigeria on March 29 at the
newly-built Akwa Ibom International Stadium in Uyo.
The last time Nigeria played Brazil in their own country
was back in 2003, when the South American side won 3-0
in Abuja.
The news of next March’s fixture was confirmed by Akwa
Ibom Governor Godswill Akpabio at the opening of the
Akwa Ibom Stadium on Friday night.
"I have been directed by the NFF to tell you that Brazil
will field the full complement of its stars for the match,
including Barcelona star Neymar," he said.
The Akwa Ibom Stadium will also host the AFCON 2015
qualifier between Nigeria and South Africa which takes
place on November 19.
