As Countries who qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations prepare for the championship, Nigeria which did not make it will be helping some of the Teams to shape up for Equatorial Guinea 2015.

NFF General Secretary, Musa Amadu confirmed that a selection of the homebased Super Eagles will play two International friendlies against Cote d'Voire and Mali in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates in January 2015.
