The Super Eagles will conclude their June international window with a high-profile friendly against Portugal as Eric Chelle’s side continue preparations for future competitions following their impressive recent run of results.
Nigeria head into the clash unbeaten in their last five matches, having defeated Zimbabwe and Jamaica before earning a 2-2 draw against Poland in Warsaw.
The game presents another major test for Chelle and his players against one of Europe’s strongest teams, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva.
Unlike Portugal, who are using the match as part of their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Nigeria are continuing their rebuilding process after failing to qualify for the tournament.
