Satellites confirm Nigeria date

The Black Satellites management committee has confirmed a 12 August date for their international friendly against the Flying Eagles of Nigeria on home soil.

 
Officials are considering playing the match at the Tamale Stadium to give the locally-based players more exposure.

 
The Nigerians need the friendly to sharpen their arsenals for the Fifa World Youth Championship in Egypt later this year.

 
The match will be after the team had played two friendlies against South Korea in Seoul on 26 July and 28 July.

 
The Satellites are expected to depart for South Korea on 24 July and return home on 4 August.

 
Nine foreign-based players will join their locally-based colleagues in Qatar for a two-week training tour when the team arrives on 1 September.

 
A final list of 21 players will be selected in Doha for the 17th edition of the Fifa Under-20 World Cup and arrive in Egypt on 15 September.

  Ghana will open their campaign against Uzbekistan on 26 September in Ismailia.
