Nigeria, May 2 -- Nigeria will face Zimbabwe and Senegal in friendlies ahead of this year's Africa Cup of Nations, the president of the Nigeria Football Federation announced on Wednesday.
The Super Eagles, runners up in the competition in 2018, will host the Warriors on 8 June in Asaba before facing the continent's top side Senegal in Egypt, the tournament hosts, eight days later.
