Messi of Argentina dribbles past Onazi of Nigeria The Argentina FA has confirmed that the two-time World Champions will face Nigeria in a friendly in the Russian city of Krasnodar on 14 November. Three-time African champions Nigeria, who became the first African country to book a spot in Russia, are regarded as tough opposition  as Argentina prepare for their 2018 World Cup campaign.
