The Nigerian Football Association says the West African country will host Argentina in an international friendly on June 1.

Ademola Olajire, spokesman for the Nigerian Football Association, said Wednesday that the match will take place at National Stadium in the capital city of Abuja.

The two teams' last meeting was in the group stage at last year's World Cup. Argentina won 1-0 with Nigeria having a poor tournament.

Argentina is ranked fourth in the world by FIFA, and Nigeria is 39th.
