Nigeria’s international friendly fixture against the North African nations are expected to prepare Gernot Rohr’s side for November’s double-header Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sierra Leone.

Super Eagles coach talking to the invited players in their first training session since defeating Lesotho 4-2 in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at Maseru’s Setsoto Stadium on November 17, 2019.

Nigeria’s encounter against Algeria would be the fourth meeting between the two countries in three years.
