The Nigeria national football team are set to play Jordan national football team in an international friendly in Amman this March as part of preparations for the 2026 World Cup.
Nigeria’s participation in the fixture could depend on an expected ruling by FIFA over the country’s eligibility protest involving the DR Congo national football team.
Officials say the decision will clarify Nigeria’s standing in the competition and may influence its international schedule during the upcoming window.
The proposed friendly is aimed at helping the Super Eagles fine tune the squad and maintain match fitness ahead of key qualifiers.
Meanwhile, Iran national football team is also in talks with Nigeria over a possible friendly as both countries step up preparations for the 2026 World Cup. No official dates have been confirmed, with further announcements expected after FIFA’s ruling.
