The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) says it is closely monitoring the escalating conflict involving Iran, as uncertainty surrounds the Nigeria national football team’s scheduled international friendlies during the upcoming March FIFA window.
Nigeria’s Super Eagles had been set to participate in a four-nation invitational tournament in Amman. The team was originally scheduled to face the Iran national football team on March 27, before taking on the Jordan national football team on March 31.
The Costa Rica national football team was also expected to participate in the mini-tournament.
However, the competition has now been thrown into doubt after Iran reportedly withdrew from the tournament due to rising political and military tensions across the Middle East.
Officials within the NFF say they are closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates on Nigeria’s participation as developments unfold.
