Efoghe added that the technical crew is focused on making the most of the limited preparation time. “Our priority is to blend the squad quickly and effectively. Every session now is crucial for our preparations.”

Head coach Eric Chelle had invited 23 players for the friendlies, which were moved from Amman to Antalya due to security concerns in the Middle East. Nigeria will face Iran on Friday before taking on Jordan on March 31 in Antalya.
