Nigeria’s March 2026 friendlies vs. Iran and Jordan face cancellation over Middle East conflict risks.

Nigeria’s upcoming friendly football matches against Iran and Jordan in March 2026 are under threat amid escalating Middle East tensions following U.S.-Israel military actions against Iran. Retaliatory strikes by Iran targeting U.S. and Israeli assets across the region have raised safety concerns for the Super Eagles and Iran’s Team Melli. The Nigeria Football Federation has not issued a statement, but growing calls urge cancellation or relocation due to the volatile security situation. The fixtures remain uncertain as international developments continue to unfold.
