The Super Eagles of Nigeria will return to action for the first time since securing a bronze medal at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations when they face Iran in an international friendly at the Antalya Stadium in Turkey today.
The encounter marks only the third meeting between both nations, with Nigeria holding a slight advantage from previous clashes, having recorded one win and one draw.
Ahmed Garba scored a second half goal that separated both teams at the Carlsberg Cup in Hong Kong in January 1998, while the two teams’ group F clash in Curitiba at the 2014 FIFA World Cup finals in Brazil ended goalless.
Their latest meeting arrives within the context of a four-nation invitational tournament that also features Jordan and Costa Rica.
The match is scheduled to kick-off at 2pm Nigerian time.
