These matches will be crucial for building momentum, refining tactics, and giving our players vital competitive exposure as we look ahead to future challenges."
The Super Eagles' participation underscores the NFF's commitment to securing high-caliber friendlies and tournaments to elevate the team's performance on the global stage.
