Iran in talks with Nigeria for pre World Cup friendly in March

Iran’s national team has opened talks with the Nigeria Football Federation to arrange a pre World Cup friendly match in March as part of preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. According to reports from Tehran Times, Iran plans to play two warm up games in March, one against Nigeria and another against Costa Rica. Iran, who have been drawn in Group G alongside Belgium, Egypt and New Zealand, are finalising their build up schedule ahead of the tournament in Canada, Mexico and the United States. Earlier suggestions that they would face Spain and Portugal in friendlies have been revised, with focus now on opponents from Africa and CONCACAF.

Nigeria’s Depth Shines in Convincing Win Over Uganda

Nigeria delivered a strong message to their Africa Cup of Nations rivals with a confident 3–1 victory over Uganda, achieved with a heavily rotated squad.

Despite their dominance, Nigeria again showed a familiar weakness late on. With the game already won, they […]

Nigeria captain Wilfred Ndidi says the Super Eagles will use the memory of their shock defeat to Tunisia at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations as motivation when the two sides meet again in the group stage on Friday. Five years ago, Nigeria entered the round-of-16 clash as overwhelming favourites after a flawless group campaign that included a win over seven-time champions Egypt. Tunisia, by contrast, scraped through as one of the best third-placed teams. However, the Carthage Eagles stunned Nigeria with a 1-0 victory, capitalising on a defensive error and a red card shown to Alex Iwobi. Speaking ahead of Friday’s encounter, Ndidi described the defeat as a painful moment but insisted the current squad is focused on the present. “It was a painful loss in 2021,” Ndidi said at the pre-match press conference. “The guys were really prepared […]
