Nigeria’s Nigeria national football team are scheduled to face Jordan in an international friendly in Amman this March, as both sides step up preparations for major global assignments.
The match is part of Jordan’s build-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where the Middle Eastern nation will be making its historic debut on football’s biggest stage.
However, Nigeria’s participation remains subject to a pending decision by FIFA over the country’s eligibility protest involving the DR Congo national football team—a ruling that could influence the Super Eagles’ international schedule.
The West Africans are also exploring the possibility of another high-profile friendly against the Iranian national football team during the same window, as they seek to fine-tune their squad.
Jordan, coached by Jamal Sellami, faces a daunting test in their maiden World Cup outing after being drawn in a formidable group alongside the Argentina national football team, the Algeria national football team, and the Austria national football team.
With fixtures still being finalized and FIFA’s verdict awaited, Nigeria’s March calendar could prove pivotal in shaping their momentum ahead of the next phase of international competition.
