The Super Eagles’ international friendly matches in the United States of America have been called off 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 World Cup 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 taking on 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 playoff, where they will take on either Cameroon or DR Congo.
