The Super Eagles of Nigeria are set to face the Seleção of Portugal in an international friendly.

At the World Cup in Qatar, Portugal in the group stage will face the Black Stars of Ghana the team that knocked out the Super Eagles in the qualification series.
The Portuguese therefore have chosen to prepare for Ghana with a friendly against their west African rivals Nigeria.
