Nigeria's March fixtures: Iran game moved amid security concerns

Following their non-qualification for the FIFA 2026 World Cup, Nigeria's Super Eagles are preparing for March international fixtures, serving as a sought-after friendly opponent. The team's scheduled match against Iran on March 27 has been impacted by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, leading to its relocation.

The game will now be held at Corendon Airlines Park in Antalya, Turkey. This match is part of a four-nation invitational tournament, which also includes Jordan and Costa Rica. The tournament fixtures were initially planned for Amman, Jordan, but were relocated due to security issues in the region.

Nigeria is set to face Iran at 6 p.m. local time on Thursday, March 27. Subsequently, the Super Eagles will play against Jordan on March 31 in Antalya. Coach Eric Chelle has included three uncapped players in the squad: Emmanuel Fernandez, Philip Otele, and Yira Sor, who are poised to make their Nigeria debuts.
