The Nigerian national football team, the Super Eagles, has unveiled a formidable 26-man squad for their upcoming international friendlies against the Black Stars.
Scheduled for March 22, 2024, the friendly between Nigeria and Ghana has been confirmed by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), followed by another match against Mali on March 26.
Ghana, currently without a coach since the departure of Chris Hughton after the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, is in a period of transition. Similarly, Nigeria is also in a transitional phase, with former player Augustine Eguavoen serving as the interim head coach following the departure of Portuguese trainer Jose Peseiro.
Despite securing a runner-up position in the 2023 AFCON held in Ivory Coast, the Super Eagles are gearing up for the friendly matches to prepare for upcoming international events, including the 2025 AFCON qualifiers and the continuation of the 2026 World Cup qualifications.
The Black Stars are keen to utilize these friendly matches to regroup and prepare for future competitions. The Ghana Football Association is actively searching for a new coach to lead the national team.
With anticipation mounting for the announcement of Ghana's new technical team, football enthusiasts on both sides eagerly await these friendly encounters.
These matches will serve as vital preparation for the challenges ahead on the international stage, including the 2025 AFCON qualifiers and the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
