advertisementPortugal are reportedly planning a high-profile international friendly against the Super Eagles of Nigeria as part of their preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The friendly is seen as an opportunity for both teams to test their strength against top opposition ahead of crucial World Cup qualifying fixtures. The Super Eagles have continued to attract international interest following their impressive performances at the just concluded 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), where they were widely praised for their discipline, attacking flair and tactical organisation. Portugal last faced Nigeria in a friendly match in November 2022, a game the former European champions won 4-0. The proposed June clash would offer the Super Eagles an opportunity to test their progress and possibly seek redemption against a Portuguese side stacked with world-class talent.
