P>Nigerias Super Eagles will now play Sudans Falcons of Jediane instead of the Les Aiglons of Mali after the Afcon 2013 semi finalist changed their plans towards preparing for the Afcon 2015 tournament in Equatorial Guinea. The Eagles were scheduled to meet Ivory Coast and Mali in Abu Dhabi in a mini tour in the Middle East in January, but those plans have been altered. The Nigeria Football Federation confirmed on Thursday that the clash with Ivory Coast will still go ahead as planned while Sudan will now replace Mali. Nigeria will tackle the Ivory Coast on January 11 and then meet Sudan six days later on January 17. The invited players are expected to resume camp on Tuesday 30th December instead of December 28th as earlier arranged. Former Switzerland junior Steven Ukoh, who was cleared to play for Nigeria last week by Fifa, has been officially invited for the mini tour and will now link up with other invited players. The latest Eagles B set up is headlined by Warri Wolves defender Azubuike Egwuekwe, Kano Pillars midfielder Rabiu Ali, Kingsley Sokari, Gambo Mohammed, Giwa FC captain Charles Helong and Gbolahan Salami.
