Nigeria’s senior national team, the Super Eagles, will open camp on March 24 ahead of the Four-Nation Invitational Tournament in Amman, Jordan.
The tournament, scheduled within the March FIFA international window, will see the three-time African champions test themselves against two World Cup-bound sides, Iran and hosts Jordan, in what officials describe as a key competitive tune-up.
All matches will be played at the 17,000-capacity Amman International Stadium. Nigeria will face Iran on March 27 before rounding off the tournament against Jordan on March 31.
A senior team official confirmed the operational schedule to BSN Sports: “Everything is aligned with the FIFA window. Camp opens the day the window begins. The players and coaching staff will be on-site in Amman from March 24 through March 31.”
Speculation over the future of head coach Eric Chelle has continued amid reports of a proposed 19-point contract review submitted to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), including a request for an improved salary package.
Despite the negotiations, sources indicate Chelle will remain in charge for the Jordan tournament as discussions with the federation continue.
The NFF is also awaiting a decision from FIFA on a petition filed against DR Congo following Nigeria’s 2–4 penalty defeat in the 2026 World Cup playoff final in Morocco.
Nigeria alleged that the Congolese team fielded ineligible players during the match, and a favourable ruling could potentially impact the Super Eagles’ qualification prospects.
