The Nigerian national football team is preparing for a series of high-stakes encounters this June, as the Super Eagles have finalized arrangements to face off against Poland and Portugal. These prestige fixtures are scheduled to follow the team’s involvement in the London-based Unity Cup tournament earlier in the summer.
Although Nigeria did not secure a spot in the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, the three-time African champions have committed to a rigorous off-season itinerary. This summer campaign commences with the team’s effort to retain their Unity Cup silverware in London, with matches slated to take place between May 26 and May 30.
Confirmation of the schedule came on Thursday via Jairo Pachon of Eurodata Sport, the Nigeria Football Federation’s official FIFA Match Agent. According to Pachon, the Super Eagles are booked to compete against Poland at the PGE Narodowy Stadium in Warsaw on June 3.
Following the clash in Poland, the squad will relocate to Portugal for a secondary international friendly on June 10, though the specific stadium for this match remains to be finalized. This particular fixture holds significant weight for the Seleção das Quinas, as it represents their final competitive tune-up before they depart for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is being hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Nigeria approaches these high-profile summer dates with positive momentum following their recent performances in Antalya, Turkey. During that window, the Super Eagles secured a victory over World Cup qualifiers Iran and finished with a 2-2 stalemate against Jordan.
