Amman Stadium to Host Super Eagles Friendly as Nigeria Rebuilds After World Cup Playoff Exit
The Super Eagles of Nigeria have officially scheduled their next international friendly match against the Jordan national football team, set to take place during the March 2026 FIFA international window in Amman, Jordan’s capital city.
According to confirmed reports, the friendly will be held between March 23 and March 31, 2026 — aligning with the official FIFA calendar for international fixtures.
This fixture marks a significant opportunity for both nations: Jordan prepares for its first-ever appearance in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, while Nigeria looks to rebuild momentum following recent setback in its own World Cup qualifying campaign.
Jordan vs Nigeria Friendly Preview
For Jordan, the friendly comes at a crucial time as the West Asian side prepares for the global showpiece tournament after securing qualification — their first in history. Facing an African powerhouse like Nigeria provides vital preparation before their challenging World Cup group which includes opponents such as the Algeria national football team.
For the Super Eagles, the match offers a tactical testing ground under head coach Eric Chelle. Following their exit from the CAF playoffs, Nigeria’s World Cup journey is still clouded with uncertainty as the Nigeria Football Federation awaits FIFA’s verdict on an eligibility protest lodged in December 2025. A favourable ruling could still influence Nigeria’s path to the inter-confederation playoffs in Mexico next month.
Until that decision is delivered, this friendly represents a timely stage for squad reshaping and competitive match practice. Coach Chelle is expected to blend experience with emerging talents, giving fans a glimpse into what the Super Eagles might look like in the coming years.
The Super Eagles vs Jordan friendly match isn’t just another international fixture — it’s a litmus test for Nigeria’s squad depth, resolve after World Cup qualifying disappointment, and preparation ahead of future tournaments. For Jordan, it’s a milestone in football history as the team builds toward its first FIFA World Cup challenge.
