Nigeria, the current Africa Cup of Nations champion, is preparing for two 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches in June before travelling to Brazil to participate in the FIFA Confederations Cup.
The Super Eagles will count on their English Premier League stars to lead the way, including Chelsea midfielders John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses, one of the top wingers in European soccer.
In addition, Nigeria have called in two players based in the German Bundesliga, two from Serie A in Italy, two from the Scottish Premier League and two from the Portuguese Liga.
Mexico is expected to release its roster in the coming days.
Mexico and Nigeria have met three times with a 1-0-2 record in favour of Mexico. The two teams last met in October of 2007 in an international friendly, with the match ending in a 2-2 tie at the Estadio Olimpico Benito Juarez in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua.
