Arsenal to play Super  Eagles

English Premier League club Arsenal will play the Super Eagles in a pre-season match in Abuja on 5 August. 

Although Arsenal have since confirmed their Nigeria tour, the fixture is yet to be included in the club's official website.

But if the game does go ahead, it will be the first time the Gunners will play in the West African country.

Nigeria, ranked 60th in the latest Fifa rankings, face Arsenal who finished third in the English top flight last season.

According to promoters, DanJan Sports, agreement has been finalised with the Nigeria Football Association.

The London club traditionally hosts an annual pre-season tournament at the Emirates Stadium, but they opted to postpone the event for a year because of the 2012 London Olympics.

The visit to Nigeria will conclude Arsenal's pre-season tour after playing in both China and Malaysia in July.

Meanwhile, tickets for the upcoming friendly match with Nigeria will go on sale from July 4 across outlets to be announced soon.
