The Super Eagles are set to play two high?profile international friendly matches this summer, officially scheduled for June?3 against Poland national football team and June?10 against Portugal national football team, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The fixtures come during a busy international window following the March friendlies in Turkey, where Nigeria recorded a 2?1 win over Iran and a 2?2 draw with Jordan. Despite these results, the Super Eagles remained 26th in the latest FIFA men’s rankings, holding steady in both global and African standings.
June’s matches present valuable opportunities for head coach Éric?Chelle to further assess his squad and build cohesion ahead of upcoming competitive assignments, including qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. Facing European opposition of Poland and Portugal, both nations with strong football pedigrees, will allow the Super Eagles to test tactical systems and player combinations at a high level.
Nigeria’s clash with Poland on June?3 is expected to be closely contested, while the June?10 encounter with Portugal offers the chance to challenge one of Europe’s most established sides. Portugal remains a top?ranked team globally and will provide a stern test for Nigeria’s defence and attacking units.
As preparations continue, further details on kick?off times, venues, and squad selections are expected to be released by the Nigeria Football Federation in the coming weeks.
The friendlies form part of Nigeria’s broader strategy to maintain competitive momentum and international exposure after missing out on the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America.
