The Super Eagles' proposed friendly matches in the United States of America are set to be cancelled due to the team's involvement in the FIFA World Cup playoffs.

The three-time African champions were billed to face Venezuela and Colombia next month.

The Super Eagles earned a spot in the playoffs after a dominant display against Benin Republic in their last qualifier on Tuesday, October 14.

Eric Chelle's side thumped the Gernot Rohr-led Benin Republic team 4-0 at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo.

The Super Eagles were scheduled to face Venezuela on November 14, before facing Colombia four days later.

Nigeria will now face Gabon in their playoff qualifier on November 13 in Morocco.

A victory for Nigeria will qualify them for the final playoffs, where they will take on either Cameroon or DR Congo.
