Costa Rica vs Nigeria

Costa Rica will lock horns with Nigeria at the country’s National Stadium in San Jose in what is the first of Los Ticos’ last two friendly matches before the start of the 2022 FIFA Men’s World Cup in Qatar

In Qatar, Costa Rica will not face any African opposition in the round-robin stage, having been grouped with Spain, Japan, and Germany.

But La Tricolor have resolved to test their wits and might against three-time African champions, the Super Eagles.

The Super Eagles will not be in Qatar after losing out on a World Cup ticket to eternal rivals Ghana in the final playoffs.

But pride will be at stake for the West Africans as they seek to pad their unpleasant record against North American teams.
