The Flying Eagles, who are the African Champions, will take on Tunisia at the Esperance training ground in the capital city of Tunis Thursday, and will battle the club three days later at the same venue, the private Nation newspaper reported Monday.
More friendlies have been lined up for the Nigerian team before its departure for the tournament.
