Under coach Eric Chelle, the Eagles will travel to Lisbon on June 6 to challenge Portugal, then meet Poland a few days later. These matches, arranged by the Nigerian Football Federation, are designed to sharpen the team ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. Earlier warm-up games in Turkey saw Nigeria beat Iran 2-1 and draw 2-2 with Jordan. Now, with Victor Osimhen in brilliant form for Galatasaray, the Super Eagles are eager to measure their progress and seek revenge for a 4-0 loss to Portugal in 2022.
