The eagerly awaited friendly match between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and the world champion Argentine team is set to take place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in the United States on Tuesday, March 26.
Originally planned to be hosted in China, the match faced cancellation due to a disagreement involving Argentine team captain Lionel Messi and Chinese officials.
This match marks the Super Eagles’ return to the field following their appearance in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations finale, where they competed against Cote d’Ivoire’s Elephants.
Historically, Nigeria and Argentina have faced off eight times, with Argentina securing victories in six encounters.
The Super Eagles have triumphed over Argentina on two occasions.
This encounter serves as a crucial warm-up for the Super Eagles as they gear up for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, where they will face South Africa and the Benin Republic in June.
