Super Eagles Set for March Friendly Against Jordan Amid World Cup Uncertainty

The Nigeria national football team has confirmed plans to meet Jordan in a friendly match during the March FIFA international window. The game is set to be played in Amman between March 23 and 31, offering both teams a valuable chance to prepare ahead of major calendar fixtures.

For Jordan, the match serves as part of their build‑up for their first appearance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where they will face tough opposition in their group, including defending champions Argentina, Algeria, and Austria.

Although details have been finalised between the Nigerian Football Federation and the Jordan Football Association, the Super Eagles’ participation could still be influenced by an upcoming ruling from football’s global governing body. Nigeria has lodged a formal complaint regarding player eligibility in their African World Cup qualifying play‑off defeat to DR Congo, and a decision on that case is expected soon.

While awaiting the verdict, the friendly against Jordan presents a chance for Nigeria’s head coach to test new players and maintain competitive momentum, even as the team continues to eye a possible return to World Cup contention.
