Lawal Calls for Stronger Opponents in Super Eagles Friendlies

Former Nigerian international Dimeji Lawal says the Super Eagles must face tougher opponents in friendly matches to gauge their true strength and prepare for big tournaments. He made this point after Nigeria beat Iran 2-1 and drew 2-2 with Jordan in a four-nation tournament in Turkey. Lawal argues that challenging matches will expose areas for improvement and build resilience. He urges the Nigeria Football Federation to arrange friendlies against higher-ranked teams ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations and other major competitions.
