Friday night's friendly match in the Portuguese city of Portimao between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and the Green Falcons of Saudi Arabia promises to be exciting.
Nigeria has won the African championship three times, and Saudi Arabia has won the Asian championship three times.
The only previous encounter between the two nations took place in Europe and was also a friendly game.
The Super Eagles were making their final preparations for the 2010 FIFA World Cup finals in South Africa when they played that scoreless match on May 25, 2010, in Wattens, Austria.
