Nigeria’s Super Eagles will now face 2026 FIFA World Cup-bound teams Jordan and Iran in friendlies in Antalya , Turkey, the Jordan Football Association (JFA) have announced.
The four-nation invitational tournament was originally billed for the Jordanian capital city of Amman.
It has now been moved due to the war in the Middle East.
The dates scheduled for these series of friendlies remain unchanged.
“The Jordan Football Association has decided to move the matches of the four-team international friendly tournament, scheduled for March 2026, to be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, due to the current situation in the region and the limited movement of people,” the JFA announced on its official website.
The Super Eagles will take on Iran on Friday, March 27, before they face first-time World Cup qualifiers Jordan four days later.
Costa Rica will also feature in the tournament.
