The Super Eagles of will take on the Jordan national football team in an international friendly in Antalya, Turkey, today Tuesday
Nigeria head into the match in high spirits after a 2–1 victory over Iran national football team, with goals from Moses Simon and Akor Adams sealing the win.
The friendly offers another opportunity for head coach Eric Chelle to assess his squad as the team looks to extend its unbeaten run.
Jordan, already qualified for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, arrive as strong opponents, having lost just once in their last five matches.
Chelle is expected to make adjustments to his lineup, with Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi likely to feature in midfield, while Bright Osayi-Samuel could retain his place in defence.
In attack, options include Samuel Chukwueze, Ademola Lookman and Paul Onuachu, as the coach continues to experiment with combinations.
Both teams have met twice previously, with one win each, setting the stage for a competitive encounter. The match will serve as part of Nigeria’s preparations for upcoming competitions, including the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
