The Nigerian Football Federation says Bolivia "chickened out" of a game citing fears of an attack by the African country's Boko Haram extremist group.
In a statement Thursday on its official website, the NFF said Bolivia's excuses for calling off the friendly in Nigeria this month "do not hold any water" and its lawyers will approach FIFA.
The NFF says Bolivia backed out of the game "at the eleventh hour despite signing a contract with the NFF."
Bolivia's federation said it did not want to put players and coaching staff at risk.
