The Super Eagles will kick off their 2027 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualification campaign with a Group L clash against Madagascar in Uyo.
The upcoming edition of the continental tournament will be hosted jointly by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, a first for the CAF competition.
While Nigeria is widely expected to secure a place in the final tournament, the structure of Group L means there is little room for complacency. Every point will be crucial in the race to qualify.
The match in Uyo is part of the qualification process that will see teams from across Africa compete for spots in the 2027 AFCON, which is the premier continental competition for national teams.
With the Super Eagles looking to build momentum early, the encounter with Madagascar will test their readiness and resolve as they aim to secure a berth in the next Africa Cup of Nations.
