The Nigeria Football Federation has proposed a World Cup warm-up against Portugal, MTNFootball.com reports.

The African champions had confirmed only next month’s friendly against Mexico as a warm-up game for Brazil 2014.

However, Chairman of the NFF Technical Committee, Chris Green, has now said another match against Portugal could well be on the cards.

However, Green said the match will be played if Portugal accepts the arrangement.

“We are considering playing a friendly with Portugal, the team plays like Argentina and Bosnia-Hezegovina. But for the friendly to come to life, Portugal have to accept and be interested,” MTNFootball.com quoted Green as saying on Brila FM.

Nigeria is also working on another test game against Croatia.

Nigeria will play against Argentina, Iran and Bosnia-Herzegovina, while the Portuguese are pitched against Ghana, Germany and United States of America in the World Cup.
