Nigeria’s Super Eagles are scheduled to take on Venezuela in an international friendly match in the United States on Friday, November 14. The fixture will be played at a yet-to-be-confirmed venue, marking another test for the three-time African champions ahead of key continental engagements.
The two nations last met in Miami back in 2012, with Nigeria securing a 3-1 victory. On that occasion, Brown Ideye, Nosa Igiebor, and Ogenyi Onazi were on target for the Super Eagles, ensuring a memorable win over the South Americans.
This year’s encounter is expected to play a vital role in the Super Eagles’ preparations for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. With the tournament fast approaching, the coaching crew will be looking to fine-tune tactics and assess players’ readiness against strong opposition.
Meanwhile, before turning their attention to the Venezuela clash, the Super Eagles will first complete their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign. They are set to face Lesotho and Benin Republic in October, matches that could prove decisive for their World Cup hopes.
