Iran in talks for Super Eagles pre-World Cup friendly
Iran are in talks with Nigeria for an international friendly ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, according to DAILY POST. The Iran Football Federation plans two friendlies in March against the Super Eagles and Costa Rica, though any match engagement remains subject to FIFA's pending ruling on Nigeria's eligibility protest against Democratic Republic of Congo. The Leopards defeated Nigeria 4-3 on penalties in the African playoff final last November. Iran will face Belgium, Egypt, and New Zealand in Group G at the 2026 World Cup.
