Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has unveiled his starting lineup for Nigeria's friendly match against Iran scheduled for Antalya, Turkey, Soccernet.ng reports.
It is the Super Eagles' first match since beating Egypt's Pharaohs on penalties to claim the bronze medal at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in January.
With Nigeria no longer in the qualifying race for the 2026 World Cup, these friendlies only serve as tune-up games ahead of the 2027 AFCON qualifiers later in the year.
With Calvin Bassey and Victor Osimhen unavailable, Chelle has opted for a blend of returning stars and established personnel in his first eleven to face the Lions of Iran.
