Iran vs Nigeria: All you need to know about friendly match in Turkey, kick-off time

The Super Eagles will face Iran in an international friendly match in Antalya, Turkey, on Friday afternoon.


The game will be part of a four-nation invitational tournament that also involves Jordan and Costa.

Nigeria head coach, Eric Chelle, is expected to use the two fixtures to introduce new players to the team and continue his rebuild after the Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.


It is not a competitive fixture, so there are no points at stake.

The match will be played at the Corendon Airlines Park in Antalya and kick-off is 4pM Nigerian time, which is 6pm local Turkish time.


The venue of the game was moved from Amman over security concerns in the Middle East.
