The head coach of Mexico, Gerardo Martino, plans on using the game as part of his team’s preparations for the CONCACAF Gold Cup slated for the USA next month. Nigeria will be using the home-based Super Eagles to play the game as the foreign-based has no made any progress in their last international friendlies.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria have played with them five times, and in those five games, they drew three and lost the remaining two, which means Nigeria has never beaten the El Tri of Mexico before. Nigeria lost to them on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the 1995 King Fahd Cup (later rebranded as the FIFA Confederations Cup).
Since 2007, both countries have faced each other three times in a friendly which ended in a draw.
