NFF Confirms Nigeria’s June Friendlies Against Portugal And Poland

‎The Nigeria Football Federation has announced that the Super Eagles will play high-profile friendlies against Portugal and Poland in June.

‎The team recently competed in a four-nation tournament in Turkey, where they beat Iran and drew 2-2 with Jordan. Their first June fixture will be against Poland at the PGE Narodowy Stadium in Warsaw on June 3.

‎A second friendly against Portugal will follow seven days later at a venue yet to be confirmed.

‎”NFF’s FIFA Match Agent, Jairo Pachon of Eurodata Sport, confirmed on Thursday that the clash with Poland will take place at the PGE Narodowy Stadium in the country’s capital, Warsaw on 3rd June. While the clash with Portugal will take place in Portugal on 10th June, with a venue to be announced in the coming days,” a statement from the NFF read.

‎”The game against the Selecao das Quinas, the name of the Portugal senior men’s team, will be the last game for the hosts before they fly to the far west to take part in this summer’s FIFA World Cup finals being jointly hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

‎”The Cup holders, Super Eagles, are also scheduled to defend their crown at this year’s Unity Cup Tournament in London, taking place 26th – 30th May.”

‎Nigeria missed out on a place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup after failing to overcome DR Congo in their play-off clash held in Morocco. Despite that setback, the Super Eagles ended their Africa Cup of Nations campaign on a positive note, securing third place.

‎They achieved the podium finish by defeating Egypt on penalties after the match ended level in regulation time.
