The friendly between Nigeria and world champions Argentina will hold at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, United States of America.
The highly anticipated encounter has been fixed for Tuesday, March 26.
Japan was first designated to host the game, before it was later moved to China.
However, disagreement between Argentina captain Lionel Messi and Chinese authorities forced the organisers to look for a new venue.
Argentina are also expected to take on El Salvador in another friendly in March.
The encounter will be the Super Eagles first outing since their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations final fixture against the Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire.
The West Africans lost the game played at the Alassanne Quattara Stadium, Ebimpe, Abidjan 2-1. READ ALSO:
